About this map

Thornburgh sits at the northern edge of this high-country landscape, where the border of Moffat and Rio Blanco counties meets. The terrain is defined by a complex network of irrigation and water management, including the Ferguson Ditch Number 2, Wilson Ditch, and Martin Cr Ditch, which support the lower valleys. To the south, the land rises into the White River National Forest, a region marked by prominent landmarks such as Uranium Peak and Three Points Mtn.

Researchers will find a landscape shaped by both natural drainage and ranching infrastructure, evidenced by Aldrich Lakes and the D D and E Wise Reservoir. The map tracks several high-elevation ridges, notably Milk Creek / Horse Ridge and Martin Ridge, providing a detailed look at the geography before it descends into Wilson Park. This survey documents the modern state of these rural Colorado uplands, including the local road network like the Yellowjacket Rim Road.
