About this map

Ground Hog Mine and the Horse Mountain Uranium Mines define the industrial history of this high mountain landscape south of Eagle. The area's complex water management system is visible through a network of irrigation features including the Staten and Cisna Ditch, McKenzie Ditch, and Peterson Ditch Number 1. These engineered waterways diverted flow from Brush Creek and its tributaries to support high-altitude ranching and mining operations.

Prominent landmarks such as The Seven Hermits, Hardscrabble Mountain, and Coffin Mountain overlook a series of deep gulches and springs. The map documents several remote water sources like McKenzie Gulch Spring and Hart Spring, essential for land use in this arid environment. Transportation through the area relies on established routes such as Hardscrabble Rd and the Eagle-Thomasville Rd, which connect the various reservoirs and ridges.
