2016 Map of Coffeepot Spring

About this map

Vermillion Bluffs dominate this high-desert landscape in Moffat County, where a complex network of seasonal drainages and named draws defines the terrain. The presence of Coffeepot Spring provides a critical focal point in an otherwise arid expanse, joined by other water-carved features like Yellow Cat Wash and Powder Wash. This 2016 survey illustrates a largely unpopulated area managed by the BLM, marked by a system of rural county roads such as Co RD 4 and Co RD 67. The geography here transitions between distinct flats and steep incisions, notably Racetrack Flat and the descriptive Beaver Slide Draw. Geologists and land researchers can trace the intricate contouring of the bluffs and the winding paths of ephemeral creeks including Shell Cr and Dry Cr.
