About this map

Bald Mtn rises above a high-desert landscape in northwestern Colorado, where the terrain is carved by seasonal drainage systems and deep canyons. This Moffat County area is defined by its arid hydrology, featuring extensive networks like Red Wash, Sand Cr, and the isolated Cutshaw Spring. The high ground is marked by prominent topographic features such as Hardgrove Rim and Lucas Hill, which overlook the surrounding basins.

Transportation through this high-elevation rangeland is limited to a sparse grid of county roads, including Co RD 19 and Co RD 8, which provide access across the township lines. The mapping of Alkali Draw and Shaffers Draw illustrates the complex erosion patterns characteristic of the region. This survey serves as a modern record of the natural landmarks and remote access routes that define the area's rural character.
