About this map

The Yampa River meanders through the heart of this landscape, carving a valley between the Williams Fork Mountains to the east and Iles Mtn to the south. This terrain is defined by its drainage systems, where seasonal watercourses like Sand Spring Gulch and Bell Rock Gulch feed into the river basin. The map reveals a land managed for water and transport, featuring the Culverwell Reservoir and Ellgen Reservoir Number 2, which support the local ranching and agricultural efforts in this corner of Moffat County.

Road systems such as Round Bottom Rd and Coal Mine Rd provide access to the area's prominent topographical features, including Bell Rock and the low-lying basins of Round Bottom and Big Bottom. To the southeast, the confluence of the river and the Williams Fork creates a distinct corridor of riparian activity, while isolated water sources like Post Oak Spring offer critical landmarks in the higher, more arid elevations.
