2013 Map of Axial

About this map

Axial Basin serves as the central geographic anchor for this part of Moffat County, where the settlement of Axial and several established homesteads define the high-desert ranching landscape. The map details a network of water rights and drainage systems essential for agriculture in this arid region, including Wilson Reservoir and the winding course of Milk Cr. Prominent elevations like Duffy Mountain, Iles Mountain, and Mount Streeter overlook the valley floor, providing a clear picture of the local topography. Established properties such as the Gossard Ranch, Wilson Ranch, and Circle Bar Ranch are clearly identified, offering valuable data for those researching family land holdings or the development of western Colorado stock raising in the early 21st century. Infrastructure is primarily comprised of county roads and Co-13, which follow the natural contours of the various gulches and creek beds.
