About this map

Wolf Mtn and Slippery Sides Mtn dominate this high-altitude landscape in Routt County, where the terrain is carved by an intricate network of drainages and seasonal creeks. The mapping reveals a distinct pattern of drainage through numerous named gulches, including Hubbard Gulch, Butcherknife Gulch, and McCrosky Gulch, which feed into larger watercourses like Deep Cr and Wolf Cr. This area is characterized by its high peaks and isolated formations such as Rattlesnake Butte and Sand Mtn.

Remote county roads, including Co RD 56 and Co RD 50, provide the primary access through the steep topography, tracing the natural contours of the land. The presence of several distinct gulches such as Georges Gulch and De Cora Gulch indicates a landscape heavily influenced by erosion and water runoff, typical of the Colorado high country. The map captures the interaction between these prominent summits and the creek systems that flow from them, such as Miller Cr and Farnsworth Cr.
