About this map

Reigle Ranch and Duckett Ranch anchor this high-country landscape in Rio Blanco County, where the topography is defined by the prominent Wagonroad Ridge. The drainage network is complex, characterized by narrow gulches and seasonal draws such as Stake Springs Draw and Ryan Gulch in the north, giving way to more substantial watercourses like Black Sulphur Creek and Yankee Gulch to the east.

A network of county roads, including Co Road 85 and Co Road 144, provides access through the deeply carved terrain, following natural contours to reach remote livestock operations. The southern portion of the quadrangle shows the headwaters of the Fawn Creek system, including West Fawn Creek and East Fawn Creek, alongside Eureka Creek. The map documents a period of modern land management within the Public Land Survey System, illustrating the interface between private ranching interests and the expansive drainages of the Colorado plateau.
