2010 Map of Lang Spring

About this map

Sevenmile Ridge dominates this high-country landscape in Moffat County, where the arid terrain is defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and isolated water sources. Crucial to this region's history, Lang Spring and Spence Spring stand out as rare permanent water points in a territory marked by extensive arroyo systems such as Yellow Cat Wash and Sevenmile Draw. The map documents a sparsely populated area where human presence is primarily marked by rugged access routes like County Rd-86N and County Rd-75. These roads follow the natural contours of the land, navigating between the deep cuts of Dugout Draw and Lake Draw, illustrating the enduring influence of topography on travel and land use in this corner of Colorado.
