2016 Map of Sugarloaf Butte

About this map

Sugarloaf Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this high-desert portion of Moffat County, overlooking a network of seasonal drainages and cattle country. The landscape is defined by the convergence of Talamantes Creek and Vermillion Cr, which carve through the arid plateaus. This 2016 survey illustrates the remote character of the Colorado-Wyoming borderlands, where human presence is primarily marked by rural roads like Co RD 4 and Co RD 63 rather than concentrated settlements. Significant local water features such as Fonce Lake and G Lake provide critical points of reference in the vast Fonce Flat. The intricate topography of Canyon Cr and various washes, including Fonce Wash and G Wash, reveals the erosional patterns of this high-elevation terrain near the state line.
