About this map

Ninemile Gap serves as a prominent natural crossing within the Danforth Hills, marking a significant pass through the high country where the border of Moffat and Rio Blanco counties meets. The landscape is defined by a dense network of drainages and seasonal watercourses, including Good Spring Cr, Elkhorn Cr, and the isolated Lunney Reservoir in the southeast corner.

Remote roads like Co RD 51 and Co RD 30 navigate the complex topography, providing access to landmarks such as Hole-in-the-Wall Gulch and the long expanse of Ninemile Draw. This 2019 survey documents the intricate hydrologic patterns of the region, where the W Fork Good Spring Cr and Little Cr carve deep into the plateau, illustrating the drainage systems that define this part of Northwest Colorado.
