2019 Map of Bighole Butte

About this map

The Little Snake River meanders across the northern reaches of this Moffat County landscape, defining the local hydrology before it turns southward through a series of drainage systems. The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes, most notably at Bighole Butte in the southwestern quadrant, which serves as a primary landmark for the surrounding area. A network of rural routes, including Co RD 4 and Co RD 7, provides access to this high-desert environment, where deeply carved erosional features like Bighole Gulch and Scandinavian Gulch illustrate the natural drainage patterns toward the river valley. The map documents the persistent township and range boundaries of t12n r94w and t11n r94w, preserving the cadastral framework used for land management in this part of Northwest Colorado.
