About this map

The Hamilton settlement serves as the primary focal point in this portion of Moffat County, situated where Co RD 39 meets the winding path of the Williams Fork river. The landscape is defined by the high ridges of the Williams Fork Mountains and a complex network of drainages including West Gulch, Horse Gulch, and Ratcliff Gulch. These natural corridors reveal the drainage patterns into the larger Morapos Cr and Badger Cr systems.

Water management and high-altitude geography are visible through features like the Waddle Cr Reservoir and the isolated Martin Lily Pond. The terrain is marked by family or local names such as Harper Hill and Moody Gulch, which offer clues for genealogists tracking land use and property boundaries in this rural section of Colorado. A series of county roads, including Co RD 37 and Co RD 43, navigate the contours of the draws and gulches that characterize this western slope environment.
