About this map

The confluence of the Colorado River and the Piney River anchors this mountainous region of Eagle County, where the historic settlements of State Bridge and Bond serve as vital transit points. The landscape is defined by dramatic elevation changes, rising from the riverbanks to the summit of Horse Mtn and the distinct overlook at Windy Point. A network of winding mountain roads, including Trough Rd and Piney River Rd, follows the contours of the terrain, connecting isolated ranch sites and gulches like Cabin Gulch and High Trail Gulch.

Access to the White River National Forest is prominent in the southeastern portion of the map, while water resources such as Oxford Lake and Welsh Reservoir provide critical landmarks in the high country. The map illustrates a contemporary pattern of land use where established ranching corridors like Horse Mountain Ranch Rd and Alkali Creek Rd coexist with the protected federal lands of the national forest.
