About this map

Lodore School stands as a central landmark in this remote corner of Moffat County, where the Green River carves a complex path through the valley. The landscape is defined by its wide alluvial bottoms and deep draws, including JS Hoy Bottom, Spitzie Bottom, and Warren Bottom, which historically served as vital grounds for ranching and settlement. The transition from the river basin to the surrounding heights is sharp, notably marked by the rise of Douglas Mtn to the east.

Local infrastructure is represented by a network of ranch roads and trails, such as the Two Bar Ranch Loop Trail and Hoy Dike Trail, tracing the movement of people and livestock through Browns Park. The presence of several named springs and small water bodies like Hog Lake and Hoy Spring highlights the critical importance of water management in this arid terrain. This 2016 survey documents the enduring spatial relationship between the river corridor and the high desert plateaus of the American West.
