2010 Map of Reservoir Draw

About this map

Little Snake River curves through the southeast corner of this arid landscape in Moffat County, where a network of ephemeral drainage channels defines the local topography. The region is marked by significant geographic features including Reservoir Draw, Horse Draw, and Ruedloff Draw, which channel seasonal water toward the larger Powder Wash system. This 2010 survey illustrates the remote character of northwest Colorado, where human infrastructure is limited to a sparse grid of secondary routes such as County Rd-4 and County Rd-163. The terrain is primarily characterized by these wide draws and washes, indicating a high-desert environment where water movement has historically dictated the layout of the few existing overland trails and roads.
