About this map

Blue Mountain anchors the northern landscape of this Rio Blanco and Moffat County border region, where a complex network of seasonal water management is evident. The terrain is defined by dramatic geological features like the Coal Oil Rim and the deep depression of Coal Oil Basin, suggesting a history of resource exploration or livestock grazing in this arid environment.

Numerous small impoundments, including Burning Mine Reservoir, Raven Basin Reservoir, and Fossil Reservoir, dot the drainages, indicating the critical importance of water storage for ranching or land use. Long-established transportation corridors like the Victory Stock Driveway and several county roads follow the natural contours of the land, cutting through areas like Scullion Gulch and Spooky Mtn. This survey provides a clear view of the modern land divisions and drainage patterns along Stinking Water Cr and Willow Cr.
