2022 Map of Water Canyon

About this map

Water Canyon and its complex network of seasonal drainages define this portion of Rio Blanco County, where the high-altitude landscape is primarily shaped by water management and access routes. The area features several vital catchment points including Johnson Draw Reservoir, Big Horse Draw Reservoir, and West Fourmile Reservoir, which support the semi-arid environment. These reservoirs are connected by a system of rugged draws, such as Big Horse Draw and West Fourmile Draw, that feed into larger watercourses like Douglas Cr. Transportation across this remote terrain is facilitated by specialized routes like Rangely Dragon Rd and various county roads, including Co RD 105 and Co RD 107, reflecting the necessary infrastructure for land management and resource access in western Colorado.
