1986 Map of Peck Mesa

About this map

Little Snake River and the Yampa River define the hydraulic character of this corner of Moffat County, framing the prominent highland of Peck Mesa. The landscape is etched by a complex drainage network, including Simsberry Draw, East Boone Draw, and Cedar Springs Draw, which illustrate the arid erosion patterns typical of the region. Human presence is sparse but concentrated at the Two Bar Ranch, while industrial activity is evidenced by scattered Drill Holes, a Gravel Pit, and a Quarry. To the southwest, the terrain rises sharply toward the slopes of Cross Mountain. This survey documents the area's transition between riparian corridors and high plateau, highlighting the essential role of water sources such as Sand Wash and various isolated Wells in a demanding environment.
