About this map

Blue Mountain dominates the northern skyline of this high-desert landscape on the border of Moffat and Rio Blanco counties. The terrain is defined by a series of drainages and seasonal water management features, including the Victory Stock Driveway which cuts across the northwest corner. To the south, the land falls away into the Coal Oil Basin, framed by the distinct Coal Oil Rim. This area is heavily shaped by water storage efforts in a semi-arid climate, evidenced by the numerous named catchments such as Raven Basin Reservoir, Skyline Reservoir, and Rock Shale Reservoir. Significant erosion patterns are marked by named features like Scullion Gulch, Dead Dog Draw, and Nate Spring Draw. The map reveals a land utilized for resource management and livestock movement, with Stinking Water Cr and Willow Cr threading through the elevations of Spooky Mtn.
