About this map

Miller Hill and its namesake Miller Hill Cem stand as prominent landmarks in this high-desert portion of Rio Blanco County. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Piceance Cr, which serves as the primary drainage for an intricate system of canyons and draws. Many of these features carry names evocative of early ranching and navigation, such as Horse Draw, Hog Lot Draw, and Hatch Gulch.

Transportation through this terrain is limited to a few arterial routes, including Co RD 5, Co RD 24, and Co RD 20. The map illustrates the dramatic relief of the Dudley Bluffs and the deeply carved path of Dudley Gulch North, reflecting the erosional patterns of the Piceance Basin. This 2022 survey provides a contemporary record of a remote region where family-named landmarks and traditional land divisions remain the primary identifiers of the land.
