About this map

Coal Mountain and the Danforth Hills define the high-elevation landscape of this Northwest Colorado quadrangle. The terrain is deeply incised by a network of drainages such as Ben Morgan Canyon and Straight Gulch, which feed into the central basin. Industry and habitation in this sparsely populated region are evidenced by the Maudlin Gulch Oil Field and the Stone Ranch, located west of the winding CO Road 57.

Landmarks like Clinker Knob and the geological Escarpment Arch highlight the distinct topography of the Coyote Basin. To the south, the namesake Price Creek flows through the valley, while isolated features like Indian Springs Draw and Red Rock Canyon mark the transition toward more arid breaks. The map captures a moment of modern land use in a region dominated by resource extraction and cattle ranching.
