About this map

Coyote Basin and the Danforth Hills define the northern reaches of this Colorado landscape, where the border between Moffat and Rio Blanco counties divides high-elevation drainages. This high desert terrain is marked by a complex system of deep gulches, including Gower Gulch and Tschuddi Gulch, which channel seasonal water toward Strawberry Cr. The presence of scattered water sources such as Moonshine Spring and Coal Spring suggests the vital importance of these points for livestock and wildlife in an otherwise arid environment.

To the south, the terrain rises toward Strawberry Peak and the namesake White Rock formation. Navigability in this region is dictated by the geography, with Co RD 7 and Co RD 93 winding through the gaps between the Gray Hills and the secluded Hidden Valley. The map reveals a land utilized for its natural resources and range, evidenced by the named draws like Jordan Draw and the distinct ridgelines of Dick Ridge.
