About this map

Industrial resource extraction defines the high-desert landscape of Moffat County on this 2010 topographic study. Scattered across the drainage of West Timberlake Creek and Blue Gravel Creek are several named mineral interests, including the Magpie Mine, Lay Mine, and Joker Mine. The presence of the Airborne Anomaly 56-12 Mine suggests modern geophysical prospecting methods utilized in this part of Colorado. A sparse network of county roads, such as County Rd-5 and County Rd-108, provides the primary access through this arid terrain, connecting these remote mining sites to the broader region. This map illustrates the intersection of traditional mining interests with 21st-century infrastructure in the western United States.
