About this map

Walker Point commands the high ground in this rugged section of Grand County, where a complex network of canyons and ridges defines the remote landscape. The terrain is marked by essential water sources for cattle and wildlife, such as Little Mountain Spring, Bolon Spring, and Crib Spring, alongside the man-made Weaver Reservoir at the southern edge of Steer Ridge.

Transport history is etched into the topography along Wagon Road Ridge, while the names of the landscape—Horse Canyon, Beaver Canyon, and Jennie Canyon—reflect the area's historical reliance on pack animals and local fauna. This modern survey provides a precise look at the drainage patterns of Hill Cr and Spring Cr, which have carved deep features like Walker Draw and Burnt Draw into the plateau.
