2013 Map of Texas Mountain

About this map

Texas Mountain dominates this high-altitude landscape of Rio Blanco County, where a complex network of draws and canyons defines the drainage patterns of the western slope. Water is the primary architect of the terrain, from the West Douglas Creek basin in the southeast to the upper reaches of North Fork Texas Creek. High-country water management is evident at Water Canyon Reservoir and Little Horse Reservoir, alongside natural sources like Wild Rose Spring and Sand Spring. The map documents a rugged interior traversed by primitive routes including the Dragon Douglas Trl and Co Road 116. Named landmarks such as Mail Box Draw and Rope Canyon reflect a ranching and backcountry heritage, while the extensive system of draws—including Big Bull Draw and Waggoner Draw—illustrates the intricate erosion patterns typical of this Colorado plateau region.
