2013 Map of Beaver Basin

About this map

Cold Spring Mountain and the high plateaus of Moffat County dominate this high-altitude landscape, where drainages like Beaver Creek and Talamantes Creek carve through the terrain. The region's history with livestock and seasonal grazing is reflected in the naming of Buckley Cow Camp and several developed water sources including Morales Spring, Willow Springs, and Rocky Reservoir. The map illustrates the topographical complexity of the area, featuring prominent landmarks such as Bishop Peak, Diamond Peak, and Middle Mountain. Significant draws and gulches, including Fondillos Draw and Birdie Gulch, dictate the path of CO Road 72, which provides the primary access through the basin. This survey documents the network of springs and named terrain features essential for land management in this part of northwestern Colorado.
