About this map

White River City and its surrounding canyonlands are documented here in 2013, showing a landscape defined by deep drainages and the winding path of the White River. The area is characterized by a high density of named gulches, reflecting the intricate topography of Rio Blanco County. Notable among these are Rattlesnake Gulch, Tom Stith Gulch, and Ernie Howard Gulch, many of which likely carry the names of early homesteaders or local ranchers.

South of the river, the Little Hills Game Experiment Station stands as a significant landmark near the confluence of Dry Fork Piceance Creek and Piceance Creek. The map also captures the basin of Rio Blanco Lake, a prominent water feature tucked between the mesas. Modern infrastructure like Co-64 and several county roads trace the valley floors, providing access to this remote region of the Colorado plateau.
