2019 Map of Sheepherder Springs

About this map

Vermillion Bluffs and the prominent peak of Lookout Mtn define the northern reaches of this Colorado landscape, where drainage patterns dictate the movement of both water and travelers. The territory is marked by deep geographic depressions including Lake Draw and the extensive Sheepherder Springs Draw, which flows southward from the eponymous Sheepherder Springs. This high-desert terrain in Moffat County shows a network of remote corridors such as Co RD 67 and Co RD 52 that weave between topographical landmarks like Twin Buttes. The placement of these roads relative to the springs suggests the continued importance of reliable water sources for land management and movement through this arid portion of the American West.
