About this map

Sevenmile Ridge dominates this northern Colorado landscape, serving as a prominent landform in a region defined by its complex drainage network. The topographic detail follows the winding course of the Little Snake River as it cuts through the southeast corner, providing a vital water source in this arid environment. Human activity is sparse, centered primarily on the Visintainer Ranch and a network of arterial paths like County Rd 75 and County Rd 21.

The map reveals the intricate natural erosion of the high desert, specifically through named features like Yellow Cat Wash, Dugout Draw, and Sevenmile Draw. Standing out against the plateau, Yellow Cat Butte provides a distinctive vertical landmark for navigation. This survey illustrates the relationship between the seasonal washes and the permanent river, reflecting the challenges of ranching and movement in this isolated section of Moffat County.
