About this map

Park Mountain and the surrounding drainage basins of Rio Blanco County define this 2013 U.S. Geological Survey topographic study. The landscape is characterized by a complex network of seasonal watercourses and draws, most notably the headwaters of Texas Creek and its major tributaries, the North Fork Texas Creek and South Fork Texas Creek. These waterways carve through the high-desert terrain, creating features like Park Canyon and Big Horse Draw.

Human activity in this arid environment is represented by a sparse network of county and ranch roads, including CO Road 116 and the Rangely Dragon Rd. The Red Wash Reservoir stands out as a critical water management feature, fed by the complex branching system of West Red Wash, Middle Red Wash, and East Red Wash. This map is an essential reference for understanding the hydrological and topographic layout of the region just south of Rangely.
