2016 Map of Iron Springs

About this map

Iron Springs and the drainage network of Lay Cr define this pocket of Moffat County, where the high desert terrain is carved by seasonal watercourses and deep ravines. The landscape is marked by the distinct topographic features of Bord Gulch and Dressier Gulch, which drop from the higher ridges down toward the creek valleys. A sparse network of county roads, including Co RD 17 and Co RD 8, provides the primary access through this rangeland, connecting the various township and range sections. The map reveals the intricate contouring of the region, showing how Spring Cr and its tributaries navigate the complex elevations of the T9N and T8N boundaries. This 2016 survey captures a quiet, working landscape where the geography of the water and the reach of the local road system are the primary indicators of land use and human presence.
