About this map

Piceance Cr carves a central path through this section of the Piceance Basin, where the high desert landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems. The Square S Ranch serves as a primary landmark in a region characterized by deep erosional features such as Horse Draw and Ryan Gulch. This 2016 survey illustrates how modern infrastructure, including Co RD 5 and Co RD 24, follows the natural contours of the valley floors to connect isolated ranching outposts.

Local history is anchored by the Miller Hill Cem located near Miller Hill, providing a specific point of interest for genealogists researching the families who settled this part of Rio Blanco County. Notable geological formations like the Dudley Bluffs rise above the confluence of various draws, such as Hog Lot Draw and Miller Hill Draw, showing the complex topography that has long challenged and shaped the livestock industry in Western Colorado.
