2022 Map of Juniper Hot Springs

About this map

Juniper Hot Springs serves as the focal point for this landscape in Moffat County, where the geothermal waters meet the winding course of the Yampa River. The area is defined by its drainage systems and high desert terrain, featuring the prominent Little Juniper Mtn and the narrow passage of Juniper Canyon. Water management is evident through the presence of the Maybell Ditch, reflecting the necessity of irrigation in this semi-arid region. To the south, the terrain opens into the Axial Basin and Jesse Flats, areas dissected by numerous named drainages such as Temple Gulch, Maudlin Gulch, and Brush Draw. The map documents a sparse network of county roads, including Co RD 74 and Co RD 53, which provide the primary access to these remote reaches of northwest Colorado.
