About this map

The Danforth Hills anchor this high-elevation landscape in Moffat County, where the settlement of Price Creek sits amidst a complex network of drainage basins and ridges. The terrain is defined by dramatic geological features such as the Escarpment Arch and the prominent summit of Coal Mtn. A intricate system of canyons and draws, including Ben Morgan Canyon and Jesse Gulch, carve through the land, directing water toward Price Cr and Deep Channel Cr.

The presence of Coyote Basin and family-named features like Dickman Draw and Maudlin Gulch reflects a landscape primarily utilized for ranching and resource management. Access to these remote reaches is maintained by rural routes such as Co RD 57 and Co RD 32, which navigate the elevation changes near Clinker Knob. This survey captures the intersection of natural erosion and human transit in a quintessential Colorado high-desert environment.
