2013 Map of Indian Valley

About this map

Indian Valley and the high ridges of Northwestern Colorado define this landscape at the border of Moffat and Rio Blanco counties. The terrain is marked by an intricate network of drainage systems, including the seasonally active Twin Wash and Deep Channel Creek. These watercourses have carved numerous named landforms such as Colorow Gulch and Rimrock Gulch into the plateau. Standing as a prominent landmark, Colorow Mountain overlooks the surrounding complex of draws and ridges. Local transit and access to these remote areas are facilitated by unpaved routes like CO Road 77 and CO Road 71, which navigate the elevation changes near Horse Ridge. The map documents a classic Western landscape where the nomenclature reflects both topographic character and human interest, notably at Oil Well Gulch.
