2022 Map of Wapiti Peak

About this map

Wapiti Peak serves as a prominent landmark in this portion of Moffat County, overlooking a landscape defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainages and dry washes. The terrain transitions from the high elevations of Elk Springs Ridge in the north toward the lower reaches of Sagebrush Draw and Crooked Wash to the south. The drainage pattern, including N Fork Sagebrush Cr and Coal Cr, illustrates the erosional forces that have shaped this high-desert environment. This modern survey, produced using data from the Bureau of Land Management and the National Hydrography Dataset, offers a detailed look at the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) grid, documenting township and range boundaries like t4n r97w that still govern land management in this cattle-ranching and energy-producing region of Northwest Colorado.
