2022 Map of Irish Canyon

About this map

Irish Canyon and the high elevations of Cold Spring Mtn define this remote section of Moffat County, where the high desert meets steep topographic relief. The terrain is marked by significant natural barriers including Limestone Ridge to the west and the prominent Blue Hill in the north. This 2022 survey illustrates a landscape primarily shaped by hydrologic features like Vermillion Cr and Dry Cr, which carve through the arid basins. Human presence is minimal, defined largely by the thin infrastructure of Co Rd 10n and Co Rd 169. The map's township and range boundaries—including t10n r101w and t11n r100w—provide a critical grid for researchers tracing land patents and historical ranching boundaries in this corner of northwest Colorado.
