About this map

Citadel Plateau and the Danforth Hills define the high-elevation landscape of this northwestern Colorado quadrangle. In 2016, this region remains characterized by a complex network of canyons, draws, and peaks, including the prominent Wolf Mtn and Escarpment Peak. The drainage patterns are clearly established by seasonal watercourses like Bob Hughes Cr and Deep Channel Cr, which cut through the uplifted terrain.

Evidence of human activity is primarily limited to rural infrastructure, specifically Co RD 23, Co RD 59, and Co RD 57, which provide access to the various draws and gulches such as Pine Tree Gulch and Jacobs Draw. This map captures a specifically undeveloped portion of Moffat County where topographic landmarks like Steamboat Rock and Elk Springs Ridge serve as primary navigational points in a vast, open landscape.
