About this map

The Danforth Hills dominate this high-desert landscape of Moffat County, where a network of deep-cut drainages and canyons defines the region's topography. Industrial activity is centered on the Maudlin Gulch Oil Field, illustrating the area's role in Colorado's energy production. The land is largely defined by its natural watercourses, with Price Creek winding through the southwestern portion of the map, carving its way near Coyote Basin.

Evidence of historical land use and early ranching appears at the isolated Stone Ranch, situated north of County Hwy-57. This 2010 survey records a rugged terrain of named landmarks like Coal Mountain and Clinker Knob, along with numerous gulches such as Maudlin Gulch and Jesse Gulch. The road network is sparse, primarily consisting of county routes that follow the natural contours of the draws and basins.
