2022 Map of M F Mountain

About this map

M F Mtn rises above a high-desert landscape defined by complex drainage systems and livestock-focused water management. This Moffat County terrain features numerous man-made catchments, including Mancos Reservoir Number 3 and Baking Powder Reservoir, which are strategically placed to capture runoff in a series of draws like Disappointment Draw and Peterson Draw. The reliance on these reservoirs, alongside natural sources like Wolf Creek Spring and Three Springs, illustrates the critical importance of water rights and ranching infrastructure in this part of northwestern Colorado. Distinctive landforms such as Baking Powder Ridge and Maverick Flats provide landmarks across a territory mostly accessed by unpaved routes like Co RD 16 and Co RD 157. The presence of labels like Petes Post and Sheep Trail Reservoir suggests a landscape deeply tied to sheep or cattle movement through the draws of the Middle Fork Wolf Cr.
