2010 Map of Monument Butte

About this map

The settlement of Loyd and the nearby Iles Grove anchor this 2010 survey of a resource-rich landscape in Moffat County. The map details the industrial footprint of the region, specifically the Iles Dome Oil Field and the Weisbeck Mine, illustrating the intersection of energy extraction and the natural topography. A network of county roads, including County Rd 45 and County Rd 47, connects these remote sites across a terrain defined by dramatic drainages and high points. The namesake Monument Butte rises as a central landmark, while the northern edge is dominated by the slopes of Iles Mountain. Water systems are meticulously mapped, from the larger Morapos Creek and Milk Creek to the specifically named seasonal washes like Seeping Spring Gulch and Stinking Gulch, providing a detailed view of the watershed and ranching access points as they existed in the early 21st century.
