Needs review means a record exists that requires verification. No record means nothing is on file — which is not an all-clear.

The land

What the ground itself is — cover, soils, buildability, water, minerals, and the public land around it.

Soils
USDA SSURGO — Needleton (Needleton-Snowdon-Rock outcrop complex, 30 to 80 percent slopes). Land-capability class rates farm/graze suitability (1 best → 8 unsuited).

Buildability
Construction feasibility synthesized across slope, soils, landslide & flood — the constraints a land buyer pays for, joined to one parcel.
Build constraint

  • Steep terrain (~55% slope)
  • Group-C soil — slow infiltration
Water security
Decreed surface-water rights & seniority synthesized into one prior-appropriation read — the water question a ranch or land buyer leads with.
Water security
Vulnerable

No decreed water rights on record — on-site water would rely on a well permit or hauled water. A real constraint in a drought- or fire-exposed area.

Water rights

No water rights linked to this parcel. We spatially join CO Division of Water Resources records within 200m of the parcel centroid. Most non-agricultural mountain parcels have none on file.

Water well
A permitted water well falls within this parcel (primarily commercial). A permitted well is real, recorded water access from the CO Division of Water Resources — and on unbuilt rural land it is often the gating utility for buildability.

Source: the Colorado Division of Water Resources well-permit registry (CDSS). These are WATER wells (domestic / irrigation / stock), not oil & gas wells. Descriptive, not legal advice — confirm the permit, decreed use, and yield with CO DWR before relying on them.

Oil & gas wells

No oil & gas wells within ½ mile of this parcel. Sourced from the Colorado Energy & Carbon Management Commission (ECMC) public registry.

Geohazards
Radon zone is an EPA county-level rating — most Colorado mountain counties are Zone 1 (the highest tier), so testing is recommended on any build. The nearest mapped Quaternary fault is shown for context; Colorado’s Quaternary faults are sparse and largely low-slip-rate.
EPA radon zone
Zone 2 — moderate potential (2–4 pCi/L)

Sources: Colorado Geological Survey statewide Landslide Inventory (mapped deposits, not a debris-flow susceptibility model), the EPA Map of Radon Zones (county-level), and the USGS Quaternary Fault and Fold Database. Descriptive, not legal or engineering advice — confirm slope stability, radon, and seismic conditions with a qualified professional before acting.
