2016 Map of Maybell

About this map

Maybell sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Moffat County, where the Yampa River winds through a broad valley punctuated by early irrigation works. The local agricultural history is visible through the Maybell Ditch, which follows the river's southern curve to support ranching in this arid corner of Colorado. North of the settlement, the terrain rises into prominent formations such as Hat Hill and Eagle Rock, revealing a geography defined by seasonal drainages like Alkali Draw and Wildcat Draw. Genealogists will find the Fairview Cem located north of the town center, a key site for local family history. The distribution of water sources like Omstead Spring and Barber Spring highlights the critical importance of localized water points for the livestock and wildlife that define this region's land use.
