About this map

Willow Creek Ranch stands as a primary point of human settlement in this high-plains landscape of Moffat County, surveyed just before the 1970s. The map illustrates a region defined by its water sources and developing energy infrastructure, as seen with the presence of a Gas Well and a prominent Pipeline cutting across the terrain. Hydrological management is evident through the inclusion of a Gaging Sta along Willow Creek, while Fourmile Creek and Mud Spring Draw provide the natural drainage for the area. The movement through this territory is marked by a rugged Jeep Trail, indicating a period where access was limited to specialized vehicles and ranching operations.
