2022 Map of Iron Springs

About this map

Iron Springs and the drainage of Lay Creek define this high-altitude landscape in Moffat County, where the terrain is carved by seasonal watercourses and intermittent springs. The map documents a sparsely populated region of northwestern Colorado, characterized by significant land divisions such as t9n r93w and t9n r92w. Geographic features like Bord Gulch and Dressler Gulch indicate the complex erosion patterns common to the area's high desert environment. While largely devoid of dense settlements, the presence of various county roads, including Co RD 17 and Co RD 7, suggests a landscape organized for ranching and resource management. These routes follow the natural contours of the land, navigating between peaks and along creek beds like Spring Cr. This survey provides a clear view of the contemporary rural infrastructure and natural hydrology that continues to shape the region.
