About this map

Danforth Hills anchor this portion of Moffat County, where high ridges and deep drainages define a complex topography in the northwestern corner of Colorado. The landscape is marked by unique geologic markers such as Escarpment Arch and Clinker Knob, while substantial elevations are represented by Coal Mtn. This area is characterized by an intricate network of erosional features, including Temple Canyon and Dickman Draw, which feed into the central drainage of Price Cr.

Evidence of early land use and access is visible through named routes like Co RD 57 and Co RD 57e, which skirt the edges of Coyote Basin. The nomenclature across the map reflects a legacy of local naming, with gulches and canyons such as Ben Morgan Canyon and Pine Tree Gulch suggesting the historical presence of early settlers and specific landmarks long used for navigation in this high-altitude terrain.
