2022 Map of State Bridge

About this map

State Bridge and the neighboring settlement of Bond serve as the primary human touchpoints in this section of the Colorado River canyon. The landscape is defined by the sharp descent of tributaries like Elk Cr and Goodson Cr into the main river valley, where rail and road infrastructure must contend with the complex topography of the Eagle County high country. To the south, the terrain rises toward Horse Mtn and enters the northern reaches of the White River National Forest, a transition marked by a shift from the river-bottom corridor to a high-elevation network of forest service trails and ranch roads.
