About this map

The Eagle River carves a deep path through Eagle County, serving as the primary corridor for transportation and settlement in this portion of the Colorado Rockies. Near the river's bend, the community of Wolcott is situated at a strategic junction of mountain roads, while to the south, the settlement of Carterville is found near the head of Stag Gulch. The landscape is dominated by high-elevation features such as Bocco Mountain and Bellyache Ridge, with the latter marked by a network of winding residential roads including Bellyache Ridge Rd.

Resource extraction and water management are evident across the terrain. The Lucky Strike Number One Mine is located on the slopes above Travis Creek, indicating the area's mining history. To the northeast, water security is represented by the Spalding Reservoir and Alex Spring Reservoir. Agricultural infrastructure is also documented through several water-moving systems, including the Leonard Horn Ditch Number 1 and Cash Ditch, which support local holdings like the Horn Ranch.
