About this map

Mayberry Spring and Clayton Spring serve as the primary named water sources in this high-desert landscape of Moffat County, surveyed at the end of the 1960s. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage patterns, most notably Bighole Gulch and Greasewood Gulch, which carve through the arid topography.

Evidence of human activity is sparse but specific, pointing toward a ranching and resource-extraction economy. A solitary Corral stands in the southeastern reaches, while multiple sites marked Drill Hole suggest mineral exploration or geological testing during this era. Other features like Kelly Spring highlight the critical importance of localized water points in an otherwise dry expanse of Northwest Colorado.
