2019 Map of Lone Mountain

About this map

The Little Snake River carves through this corner of Moffat County, defining a high desert landscape marked by dramatic geological formations. Significant elevations such as Douglas Mountain, Lone Mtn, and the edge of Cross Mtn dominate the terrain, separated by deep drainages like Lone Mountain Canyon and Wild Cow Draw. This 2019 survey documents a sparsely populated region where infrastructure is limited to rural routes like Co RD 10 and Co RD 25. The placement of Thompson Springs suggests a vital water source in an otherwise arid environment, while the network of draws, including East Boone Draw and Thompson Draw, illustrates the complex hydrologic pattern of the river basin. The map serves as a contemporary record of this high-plateau cattle country and its topographic landmarks.
