2020 Map of Steve Forks

About this map

Steve Forks serves as a primary geographic anchor in this Garfield County landscape, characterized by the drainage patterns of Lone Tree Cr and its various branches. The area is defined by a series of geographic depressions known locally as coulees, including Meckel Coulee, King Coulee, and Baker Coulee, which shape the local hydrology and movement across the terrain. A sparse network of county roads like Edwards Rd and Steve's Fork Rd connects these points of interest, facilitating transit through a region where water management is visible at the Wheatcroft Reservoir. For those researching local family history or land use, the Steve Forks Cem provides a significant genealogical reference point, situated near the intersection of several sections. The map reveals the relationship between early ranching routes and the natural watercourses like Cherry Cr and Camp Cr that dictate the settlement's footprint.
