About this map

White River City sits at the northern edge of this high-plateau landscape, where the White River valley cuts through a complex system of drainage gulches. This 2022 survey captures the modern road network, including Co RD 5 and Co RD 142, which trace the path of the river and provide access to the nearby Rio Blanco Lake. The topography is dominated by numerous named ravines that suggest a history of local land use and family-named landmarks, such as Ernie Howard Gulch, Tom Stith Gulch, and Little Reigan Gulch.

Further south, the landscape is defined by the Piceance Cr and its Dry Fork Piceance Cr, winding through a terrain marked by prominent elevations like Black Mtn. The naming of Oil Well Gulch and Rattlesnake Gulch points to the area's practical and natural character, typical of the Rio Blanco County backcountry. This map offers a clear view of the modern boundaries between townships T1N and T2N as they intersect with these natural watercourses.
