About this map

Juniper Hot Springs serves as the focal point of this Moffat County terrain, where thermal waters emerge near the banks of the winding Yampa River. The landscape is defined by the transition from the heights of Little Juniper Mountain in the northwest down into the broad Axial Basin to the south. A network of county roads, including Co Road 53 and Co Road 17, provides access to the scattered gulches and flats that characterize this part of the Colorado backcountry.

Evidence of early water management and ranching geography is visible through features like the Maybell Ditch and named locales such as Jesse Flats. The map documents a series of drainages, from Temple Gulch in the north to Boxelder Gulch and Hale Gulch in the south, illustrating the complex erosion patterns that have shaped this high-desert environment. This survey captures the rural character of the region, where topographical names reflect the early families and natural landmarks that defined local navigation.
