About this map

Fourmile Cr and Willow Cr carve through the high terrain of north-central Moffat County, defining the drainage patterns of this sparsely settled landscape. The map reveals a high-altitude network of rural routes, including Co Rd 2 and Co Rd 101, which navigate the various draws and ridges that characterize the region. Unlike more developed areas, the landscape here is dominated by natural landmarks such as Mud Spring Draw, which cuts across the lower sections of the survey.

The presence of Public Land Survey System boundaries, including t12n r91w and t11n r90w, provides a clear view of the cadastral grid that governs this part of Colorado. These township and range lines reflect the systematic division of the West, showing how even remote areas were partitioned for management. This survey serves as a clean record of the area's hydrology and basic infrastructure as it existed in the early 21st century.
