2013 Map of Devils Hole Gulch

About this map

Wilson Creek Oil Field and the nearby Wilson Creek Camp anchor this landscape along the border of Moffat and Rio Blanco counties. The topography is defined by the high elevations of the Danforth Hills, where prominent landmarks such as Old Baldy and Devils Hole Mountain overlook a complex system of drainages. The map reveals the industrial infrastructure of the early 21st century, centered on energy extraction and the rugged road network of CO Road 9. Narrow canyons and gulches, including Chokecherry Gulch and Cave Gulch, segment the terrain, while the open space of Teepee Park provides a break in the high-country relief. Water features like Wilson Cr and Strawberry Cr carve paths through the Danforth Hills, illustrating the hydrological patterns of this western Colorado region.
