About this map

Dinosaur National Monument defines the western edge of this Colorado landscape, where high plateaus and deep drainage basins meet the complex topography of Douglas Mountain. The high-elevation terrain is marked by a series of isolated water sources and ranching outposts, including the Bassett Cabin and Warrick Ranch, which reflect the remote agricultural history of Moffat County.

Hydrology in this arid region is dominated by Vermillion Creek and its associated Falls, alongside numerous named springs such as Dripping Rock Spring and Strong Spring. For genealogists and historians, the presence of a lone Grave near the headwaters of Cottonwood Creek and the intricate network of Jeep Trails crossing through Zenobia Basin provide specific points of interest regarding the area's early 20th-century occupancy and movement patterns.
