About this map

The Little Snake River winds through the northwestern corner of this territory, where an intricate system of water management infrastructure defines the local landscape. Early irrigation and agricultural engineering are evident through the Gibson Blair Ditch, Trowel Ditch, and the W Side Canal, which divert water from the river to support the surrounding high-desert terrain.

The eastern and southern reaches of the map are characterized by a series of significant drainage features and topographic breaks, including Pole Gulch, East Pole Gulch, and Thornburgh Gulch. These natural features, along with Gledhill Draw, dictate the path of the rural road network, which includes Co RD 9w and Co RD 4. The map provides a detailed view of the township and range system across Moffat County, illustrating the intersection of historic water rights and the open range of Colorado.
