2016 Map of Powder Wash

About this map

Powder Wash anchors this high-desert landscape in Moffat County, where a network of ephemeral drainages and springs defines the remote terrain. This 2016 survey illustrates a region shaped by its hydrology, with features like Dans Hole Spring and Reservoir Draw providing vital water points in an otherwise arid environment. The map details a rugged system of coulees and draws, including the evocatively named Beaver Slide Draw, Eagle Rock Draw, and Ace in the Hole Draw. Access to this corner of Colorado is documented through a series of county roads, such as Co RD 75 and the central Cottonwood Blvd. Local landmarks like West Dripping Rock stand out against the topographical contours, offering clear reference points for those studying the natural geography or land management of the North Fork Powder Wash drainage system.
