1986 Map of Wapiti Peak

About this map

Wapiti Peak serves as the high point in this corner of Moffat County, overlooking the dissected terrain of Elk Springs Ridge. The landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, notably North Fork Sagebrush Creek and the long course of Sagebrush Draw, which carve through the arid high country. The U.S. Geological Survey mapping, based on 1981 aerial photography, documents a region primarily utilized for resource exploration and livestock grazing. Evidence of industrial activity is sparse but specific, marked by a Drill Hole located in the western portion of the sheet. Seasonal water sources are critical here, with various unnamed springs and ephemeral channels like Crooked Wash and Spring Wash tracing the natural hydrology of the basin.
