1969 Map of Adobe Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The high sagebrush and juniper country of Moffat County are defined by their vital water sources on this 1969 survey. Water management is central to life in this arid landscape, evidenced by the presence of Adobe Springs Creek and several unnamed springs that dot the terrain. The local community center of gravity is represented by the Spring Creek Cem, situated near the banks of Spring Creek. Human infrastructure is sparse but significant, with a long Pipeline cutting across the northwest corner of the map, signaling the importance of resource transport in this part of Colorado. The map traces the natural drainage patterns where the West Prong meets other seasonal watercourses, illustrating how the topography dictates the movement of water and livestock through the high desert range.
