2016 Map of M F Mountain

About this map

M F Mountain and the surrounding high desert of Moffat County are defined by a complex network of ephemeral drainage draws and strategically placed water catchments. The landscape is carved by Wolf Creek Canyon and Bear Canyon, where local ranchers and land managers utilized a series of small-scale impoundments including Mancos Reservoir Number 1, Mancos Reservoir Number 2, and Mancos Reservoir Number 3. These water features, alongside Wild Horse Spring and Peterson Draw Reservoir, underscore the critical importance of water management in this arid region. High points like Baking Powder Ridge and Petes Post overlook a terrain marked by broad flats such as Maverick Flats. The map illustrates a system of county roads, including Co RD 16, which provide access through the various draws like Disappointment Draw and Yellow Cat Draw.
