About this map

Greasewood Gulch and the seasonal drainage of Red Wash define this arid landscape in Moffat County, where land use in the late 1960s was dominated by ranching and resource exploration. A isolated Corral and a scattered network of Drill Hole sites suggest a geography focused on both livestock management and mineral prospecting. Water access in this dry terrain is highlighted by a specific Flowing Well and several Spring points, which likely served as critical landmarks for locals moving through the sagebrush and gulches. The elevation rises toward the prominent Red Wash Butte in the southwestern corner, providing a clear view of the complex topographical contours that characterize this high-desert region of Northwest Colorado.
