About this map

Fourmile Cr and Willow Cr define the drainage patterns of this high-altitude landscape in Moffat County. The terrain is characterized by long, North-South ridges and narrow valleys, notably around Mud Spring Draw. Human infrastructure in this part of Northwest Colorado is primarily limited to a network of county roads, including Co Rd 2 and Co Rd 101, which navigate the elevation changes between creek beds. These routes suggest a landscape dedicated to ranching or resource management rather than dense settlement, as indicated by the Public Land Survey System grid lines of t12n r91w and t12n r90w. The map provides a clear record of the modern road system used to access these remote reaches of the Colorado backcountry.
