About this map

Danforth Hills and the Coyote Basin define the high-elevation landscape of the Colorado backcountry along the border of Moffat and Rio Blanco counties. This 2013 survey illustrates a region shaped by complex drainage systems and semi-arid terrain, where Strawberry Creek serves as a primary watercourse. The map reveals a network of named canyons and ridges, including Tschuddi Gulch, Gower Gulch, and the prominent Dick Ridge.

Evidence of historical water access is found in features like Coal Spring, Moonshine Spring, and Bitter Spring, which were vital for early ranching and transit. Significant landmarks such as White Rock and Strawberry Peak provide orientation in this area, while the network of county roads, including CO Road 57 and CO Road 143, suggests the ongoing utility of the land for resource management and exploration.
