2011 Map of Toponas

About this map

Toponas sits at the junction of several county routes in this high-altitude landscape of Routt County, where ranching and water management define the local geography. The map illustrates an extensive network of small-scale irrigation and livestock water storage, including Kelly Reservoir, Crowner Reservoir, and the E M Curry Reservoir. These features, alongside the Five Pine Mesa Ditch, indicate the persistent efforts to manage the flow of Egeria Creek and King Creek across the volcanic terrain of Five Pine Mesa. To the north, Lone Spring Butte and the distinctive Toponas Rock rise above the basin, serving as prominent landmarks for navigation in this relatively open country. The presence of smaller settlements like Egeria and infrastructure like the BLM King Mountain Rd highlight the area's mix of private landholdings and public management at the turn of the 21st century.
