About this map

The settlement of Hamilton is located along the banks of the Williams Fork river, serving as a primary point of human activity in this corner of Moffat County. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainages and topographical features, including Harper Hill and numerous named canyons such as Moody Gulch, Ratcliff Gulch, and Deal Gulch. These natural corridors dictate the path of local routes like Co RD 39 and Co RD 37.

The southern portion of the area transitions into the high-altitude terrain of the White River National Forest, where the headwaters of N Fork Deer Cr and Beer Cr originate. Water management is evident through the presence of the Waddle Cr Reservoir and the Martin Lily Pond, which dot a landscape otherwise dominated by the seasonal flow of Morapos Cr and Badger Cr. This survey illustrates the relationship between the river valley community and the surrounding federal forest lands.
