About this map

Thornburgh sits at a geographic crossroads in Northwest Colorado, where the transition from high plains to mountainous forest is etched into the landscape by the winding course of Milk Cr. This survey illustrates a region defined by complex water management and high-altitude terrain, featuring intricate systems like the Wilson Ditch and Fergusson Ditch Number 2. These human-made waterways suggest a long history of ranching and resource allocation in the high desert valleys surrounding Thornburgh Mtn.

To the south, the map climbs into the White River National Forest, culminating at the distinctive Uranium Peak and Three Points Mtn. The terrain is marked by a network of specialized routes, including the Milk Creek / Horse Ridge Trl and the Yellowjacket Rim Trl, which navigate the steep elevations between Wilson Park and several high-country water sources such as Aldrich Lakes and Wyman Reservoir.
