2013 Map of The Nipple

About this map

The Little Snake River carves a winding path through this corner of Moffat County, defining a landscape of high desert drainage and dramatic topography. This 2013 survey highlights the namesake peak of The Nipple, which serves as a central landmark for the surrounding network of dry gulches, including Greasewood Gulch and Spence Gulch. The presence of Nipple Rim Ranch in the eastern section indicates the area's continued use for livestock, while infrastructure like Nate Spring Reservoir points to the necessity of water management in this arid environment.
