About this map

Hamilton anchors the northwestern corner of this landscape, situated at the junction where Morapos Cr meets the winding Williams Fork. The area is characterized by a complex network of drainages and topographical landmarks, including Harper Hill, Herring Draw, and a series of deep gulches such as Stock Pass Gulch and Moody Gulch. The presence of the Moffat Oil Field and the Waddle Creek Oil Field indicates a land defined by energy extraction, with access facilitated by rural routes like Co-317.

Water management is evident in the eastern portion of the quadrangle through the Waddle Cr Reservoir, which captures flow from Waddle Cr. Higher elevations reveal more isolated features like the Martin Lily Pond, while the southern reaches are marked by the headwaters of Deer Cr and N Fork Deer Cr. This 2013 survey provides a detailed view of the Moffat County terrain before further modern development, mapping the intersection of ranching landscape and industrial utility.
