2016 Map of Lone Mountain

About this map

The Little Snake River carves a winding path through this corner of Moffat County, defining the drainage patterns and topography of the high desert landscape. To the west, the prominent mass of Lone Mountain and the deep incision of Lone Mountain Canyon dominate the terrain, while Douglas Mtn rises in the southwest and a portion of Cross Mtn appears in the southeast. This 2016 survey illustrates a largely undeveloped region where water sources like Thompson Springs are critical landmarks. Human presence is limited to a sparse network of county roads, including Co RD 10 and Co RD 153, which navigate the various seasonal drainages such as Wild Cow Draw and Thompson Draw. The map provides a clear record of the public land survey system, showing the township and range divisions that dictate land management in this remote Colorado territory.
