About this map

The Little Snake River winds through this high-altitude landscape of Moffat County, defining the drainage patterns and physical geography of the region. The terrain is characterized by massive topographical formations such as the Godiva Rim and the sprawling Bald Mountain Basin to the southeast. These landforms reflect the complex geological history of northwestern Colorado, where the high desert meets the edges of the Great Divide.

Modern transportation is marked by a network of county roads including Co RD 21 and Co RD 71, which navigate the steep elevations near Ninemile Hill and Sellers Hole. The presence of Deep Canyon and Shaffers Draw illustrates the erosive force of seasonal water across the basin. This map serves as a primary record of the modern road network and geographic nomenclature of this corner of the Colorado plateau.
