About this map

Danforth Hills and the winding course of Price Creek dominate this high-desert landscape in northwestern Colorado. The terrain is characterized by a series of significant erosional features and named drainages, including Deep Channel Cr and Indian Springs Draw. Local landmarks often carry the names of early figures and geological attributes, such as Ben Morgan Canyon, Coal Mtn, and the distinctive Clinker Knob.

The survey captures the complex drainage systems of the Coyote Basin before they feed into larger regional watersheds. Significant topographical landmarks like Escarpment Arch and Red Rock Canyon provide clear navigational markers for researchers studying the historical land use and physical geography of Moffat County. Roads such as Co RD 57 provide limited access through these canyons and draws, reflecting the area's enduring character as a region of specialized grazing and resource extraction.
