Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The Yampa River Basin is located in northwest Colorado and south-central Wyoming. The Colorado portion contains most of Moffat and Routt counties and small parts of Rio Blanco, Garfield, and Grand counties. In Wyoming it comprises parts of Carbon and Sweetwater counties. The Red Desert Basin is the northern boundary, the Continental Divide the eastern boundary in both states, the divide between the White and Yampa rivers the southern boundary, and the Utah-Colorado state line is the western boundary. The Utah-Colorado state line is not a natural basin boundary, but it is used to complete the Colorado western slope studies. The basin land area is approximately 2,811 square miles in Wyoming and 6,719 square miles in Colorado, for a total of 9,530 square miles. The basin is 128 miles long from west to east and averages 75 miles in width. This report presents information on water and related land resources of the Yampa River Basin in the states of Colorado and Wyoming. The principal objective of this study was the collection and development of information on water and related land resource use and management with particular regard to multiple use, to provide a basis for coordinating USDA programs of watershed protection, flood prevention, land and water management, fish and wildlife development, recreational development, municipal and industrial water development with the related activities of local, State, and other Federal agencies.
