About this map

Lazy Y Summer Camp and Ramsey Summer Camp occupy the high country of Moffat County in the early 1960s, a period when this part of northwestern Colorado remained focused on seasonal ranching and recreation. The landscape is defined by the massive presence of Blue Mountain to the south and Moose Head Mountain in the west, with the drainage of Wolf Creek carving through the northern sections.

Water management is a central theme in this arid environment, evidenced by the presence of Skyline Res No 2 and Skyline Res No 3, alongside numerous named seeps like East Moose Head Spring and Burnt Spring. The local topography is further distinguished by named corridors such as Luxen Draw and Box Canyon Wash, while a lone Drill Hole and the course of Red Wash hint at the geological explorations occurring in the vicinity of Arapahoe Rock and Martin Gap.
