About this map

Douglas Mountain dominates this high-altitude landscape in Moffat County, where the topography is defined by a complex network of draws and valleys. The map documents an area deeply tied to resource extraction and remote ranching, featuring the Queen Anne and Black Sioux Mine to the west and the Douglas Mountain Mine near Peterson Valley in the east. These labels, along with the Paint Iron Mine, point to the area's geological significance and mining history.

Water sources are critical in this arid terrain, marked by several isolated points such as Five Spring, Hillside Spring, and the reach of the Yampa River along the southern edge. Human presence is sparse but distinct, centered on the Currant Springs Ranch and the site of Browns Cabin. Notable landmarks like Zenobia Peak and Reds Knob provide orientation across a landscape characterized by dramatic names like Ant Hills and Starvation Valley.
