2019 Map of Skull Creek

About this map

Massadona sits at the base of a complex high-desert landscape defined by the prominent Skull Creek Rim and the expansive Skull Creek Basin. This 2019 survey documents a region of Northwest Colorado where water sources are vital local landmarks, as evidenced by the network of Jack Springs, Blair Spring, and Davidson Spring. The topography is marked by several significant draws, including Luxen Draw and Wasson Draw, which channel seasonal runoff through the arid terrain. Infrastructure is sparse but telling of the area's land use, with Old Mine Rd and Co RD 104 providing access to the interior. Notable elevations like Lone Mtn and the passage at Jack Springs Pass serve as natural waypoints between the drainage of Wolf Cr and the unique wetland features of The Sloughs.
