2016 Map of The Nipple SE

About this map

Red Wash Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this arid portion of Moffat County, overlooking a landscape defined by seasonal drainages and a network of county thoroughfares. The terrain is deeply incised by Greasewood Gulch and the winding course of Red Wash, reflecting the erosive forces characteristic of the Colorado plateau. A sparse but essential infrastructure of secondary roads, including Co Rd 21 and Co Rd 50, provides the only access through these high-elevation townships. This map is particularly useful for understanding the public land survey system divisions across townships 9 through 11 North, revealing how ranching and resource access are organized around natural topographic breaks and watercourses in a region where water is the primary sculptor of the land.
