2019 Map of Powder Wash

About this map

Powder Wash anchors this high-desert landscape in Moffat County, where the topography is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and remote access roads. The settlement area of Powder Wash sits at the intersection of several county routes, serving as a hub for the surrounding ranching or energy-production lands. Local landmarks like West Dripping Rock and Dins Hole Spring provide specific points of reference in a terrain carved by substantial erosion features such as Eagle Rock Draw, Beaver Slide Draw, and the curiously named Ace In the Hole Draw. The map details a grid of township and range lines, including t12n r98w and t11n r97w, which overlay a complex system of local infrastructure including Cottonwood Blvd and various county roads like Co RD 4. This 2019 survey documents the modern state of these remote corridors and the sparse but named geographic features of the Colorado backcountry.
