About this map

The town of Yampa sits in the high valley of the Yampa River, serving as a gateway to the southern reaches of the Routt National Forest. This 2022 survey captures the community and the nearby settlement of Phippsburg, showing a landscape defined by an intricate network of irrigation systems such as Palisades Ditch, N Hunt Cr Ditch, and Burnt Mesa Ditch. These waterways reflect the agricultural lifeblood of the region, drawing from local streams like Bear River and Hunt Cr to support the surrounding ranchlands.

Prominent geological landmarks such as Devils Grave Mesa and the distinctive Finger Rock rise above the terrain, while local history is preserved at the Yampa Cem. The map also details higher-elevation features including Eagle Rock Lakes and the Whiteley-Nelson Reservoir. Local routes, from Main St in town to rural paths like Co RD 7, provide a clear picture of modern access to these traditional Colorado mountain lands.
