About this map

Angora serves as the focal point for this rugged portion of the Moffat and Rio Blanco county line. The landscape is defined by a sophisticated system of high-desert water management, including the Hammond Ditch and a dense network of upland catchments like Box Elder Reservoir and Divide Cr Reservoir Number 5. These structures imply a history of coordinated irrigation and livestock ranching across the draws and gulches that feed into the White River.

South of the river, the terrain rises sharply toward Calamity Ridge and Coal Ridge. Named features such as School Gulch and Hammond Draw suggest a legacy of early family settlement and local land use. This survey provides a precise accounting of the infrastructure required to sustain agriculture and movement through the canyons, including Co RD 78 and the complex drainage of Lower Wolf Cr Reservoir Number 1.
