About this map

The Axial Basin forms a significant topographical feature in this portion of Moffat County, where a complex network of drainages defines the landscape. The map reveals numerous family-named landmarks and geographic features that speak to the region's ranching and homesteading history, including Easton Gulch, Maudlin Gulch, and Jesse Gulch. A prominent high point, Maggies Nipple, stands as a distinctive navigational marker in the northern section.

Water management and natural erosion patterns are visible through the intricate system of canyons and gulches, such as Red Littleton Canyon and Morgan Gulch. The southeastern corner is marked by the presence of E Fork Jubb Cr, while secondary roads like Co RD 32 provide the primary access through this high-desert terrain. The sheer density of named gulches, from Chokecherry Gulch to Boxelder Gulch, indicates a landscape where every drainage was a critical landmark for local navigation and land division.
