About this map

Fourmile Creek and Willow Creek define the drainage patterns of this high-plateau landscape in northern Moffat County during the early 21st century. The map provides a detailed view of the rural infrastructure at the Colorado-Wyoming border, where a network of gravel routes including County Rd-2 and County Rd-101 connect the sparse ranching developments of the region. The settlement of Slater sits near the northern edge of the sheet, serving as a landmark in a terrain marked by deep topographical features like Mud Spring Draw. The U.S. Geological Survey utilized digital imagery from 2009 to record this high-desert environment, capturing the precise alignment of local roads such as County Rd-70 and County Rd-3 before any further modern development altered these remote drainages.
