About this map

Hiawatha sits in the high desert landscape of northwestern Moffat County, just south of the Wyoming border. This 2019 survey captures a remote portion of the Colorado plateau characterized by deep drainages and intermittent watercourses. The drainage of Shell Creek meanders through the central terrain, while the sharp relief of Hells Canyon cuts through the northern sections, illustrating the complex topography of the region.

Development in this corner of the state is primarily centered on the small settlement of Hiawatha and a network of county roads, including Co RD 4 and its spurs, CO RD 4s and CO RD 4w. These corridors provide access across a landscape defined by the Public Land Survey System grids, specifically portions of t12n r100w and t11n r99w, where the high-altitude environment is marked by dry beds like Dry Creek.
