About this map

The Little Snake River carves a winding path through this corner of Moffat County, defining the drainage patterns and land divisions of the high desert. This 2022 survey documents a landscape of significant relief and isolation, where the watercourse acts as a primary geographical anchor. The presence of Powder Wash entering the river valley from the north highlights the complex hydrography that has shaped the area's development over decades of ranching and resource management.

A sparse network of county roads, including Co Rd 4 and Co Rd 21, provides the only vehicular access across the township and range lines. These routes often follow the natural contours of the river valley, serving the scattered land holdings in t12n r95w and t11n r95w. The map preserves the exact alignment of these rural thoroughfares at a time when digital mapping and land-use records are increasingly critical for Western land management and genealogical research.
