About this map

Coal Oil Basin dominates this portion of Northwest Colorado, revealing a landscape defined by natural resource extraction and water management. The area is marked by numerous industrial landmarks such as the Blue Flame Mine in the north and the White River Mine near the center, highlighting the region's mining heritage. This arid terrain necessitates a network of man-made catchments, including Red Wash Reservoir Number 1, Halandras Reservoir Number 1, and Raven Basin Reservoir, which dot the drainages of Stinking Water Creek and Dead Dog Draw. The topography rises from these basins to the heights of Blue Mountain and the curiously named Spooky Mountain. Movement through this remote country is facilitated by a grid of rural routes like County RD 96 and County HWY 1, connecting the isolated mine sites and reservoirs across the rugged Moffat County landscape.
