2013 Map of Powder Wash

About this map

Powder Wash winds through this high-desert landscape in northern Moffat County, defining a complex network of ephemeral drainages and geologic landmarks. The terrain is characterized by deeply etched features with descriptive local names, such as Eagle Rock Draw and the curiously titled Ace in the Hole Draw. While the area is largely dominated by the natural topography of the northwestern Colorado plateau, a sparse network of county routes like Co Road 4 and Co Road 62 provides the primary access through the region. Significant water sources in this arid environment are highlighted by locations like Dans Hole Spring and the North Fork Powder Wash. This 2013 survey illustrates the modern configuration of range roads and the enduring physical geography of the t012n r097w township area.
