2019 Map of Sparks

About this map

Sparks serves as the focal point for this high-desert landscape in northwestern Colorado, situated along a network of county roads including Co RD 72. The terrain is defined by a complex system of drainage draws and ridges, including Diamond Field Draw and the interestingly named Hanging Tree Draw, which lead toward the bottomlands of Talamantes Cr. To the south, the elevation rises sharply toward Cold Spring Mtn and Limestone Ridge, marking a transition from the flats to more prominent upland features. Water management is evident through several small-scale features like the Fish Reservoirs, Arthurs Reservoir, and Coyote Spring, which are critical in this arid environment. The map also identifies localized landmarks such as Harry Holy Bottom and Diamond Field, providing a clear view of the ranching and geographical identifiers used in this portion of Moffat County during the early twenty-first century.
