About this map

The Eagle River carves a central path through this section of Eagle County, anchoring the settlement of Wolcott and the nearby Eagle Valley. The landscape is defined by its complex water management and high-altitude terrain, featuring the Leonard Horn Ditch Number 1 and Sherwood Ditch systems alongside several upland water sources like Spalding Reservoir and Alex Spring Reservoir. These irrigation networks supported the agricultural and ranching efforts common in this part of Colorado.

Elevated landmarks such as Bocco Mtn and Bellyache Ridge frame the valley, while the southern portion of the map transitions into the residential area of Carterville. To the east, the boundary of the White River National Forest indicates the shift from private lands to federal management. The presence of numerous Bureau of Land Management routes, such as BLM Route 8501, suggests a landscape used for both resource management and mountain recreation.
