About this map

Fortification Cr and Blue Gravel Cr drain a landscape of significant high-altitude relief in this portion of Moffat County. The 2016 survey illustrates the remote character of this high country, where the topography is defined by prominent drainage systems like Cottonwood Gulch and Big Gulch. These features have long shaped the ranching and resource-extraction patterns of northwest Colorado.

Transportation through this high-desert environment relies on a network of county roads including Co Rd 89 and Co Rd 103, which follow the natural contours and valley floors. This map provides a modern baseline for researchers tracing land-use history and public land boundaries across the varied terrain north of Craig, capturing the drainage patterns of Little Cottonwood Cr before they reach the Yampa River valley.
