2019 Map of Elk Springs

About this map

Elk Springs sits at the northern edge of this high-desert landscape in Moffat County, where the terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges and deep drainage systems. The settlement is positioned along the northern flank of Elk Springs Ridge, overlooking a network of seasonal watercourses including Elk Springs Draw and Buffalo Gulch. Further south, the topography rises significantly toward Pinyon Ridge, a major landform that separates the upper drainage basins from the winding course of Coal Cr and McAndrews Gulch near the southern boundary. The map provides a clear look at the rural road network, specifically Co Rd 14 and Co Rd 148, which serve as the primary access points through this remote section of Northwestern Colorado. This survey documents the intersection of public land survey sections and the natural erosional features of the high plateau country.
