About this map

The Little Snake River flows across the northern reaches of this high-elevation terrain along the border of Moffat and Routt Counties. The landscape is defined by its drainage basins and isolated peaks, including the curious profiles of Bible Back Mountain and Camel Back Mountain in the western half of the quadrangle. Water management is a central theme of the area's development, evidenced by the Cogdill Lower Reservoir, Larson Reservoir, and the paired Lower Cogdill Lake and Upper Cogdill Lake.

Remote draws and gulches such as Kilgore Gulch, Tree Culture Gulch, and Deadman Draw suggest a history of local resource use and land management. The presence of Coal Bank Draw near the river indicates the geological interests that often shaped early exploration in this part of Colorado. A network of secondary routes like CO Road 123 and CO Road 1 provides access through this complex system of creeks and mountain ridges.
