About this map

Wild Horse Ridge and the prominent high point of Cedar Knob define the high-desert geography of this Moffat County quadrant. The landscape is deeply incised by a network of drainage systems, including Lone Tree Gulch and Thornburg Draw to the north, which give way to the rugged relief of Elk Springs Ridge in the south. The area’s water sources and drainage patterns are meticulously documented, from the named waters of Cedar Springs to smaller tributaries like Bob Hughes Cr and Deception Cr.

Remote roads such as Co RD 23 and Co RD 59 provide the primary access through this arid terrain. This 2019 survey, compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey using data from the Bureau of Land Management and other agencies, tracks the Public Land Survey System grids across townships including t6n r96w and t5n r97w. It serves as a detailed record of local landmarks like Jacobs Draw and Freeman Gulch within this sparsely populated corner of Colorado.
