1969 Map of Adobe Springs

About this map

The high plateau country of Moffat County is defined by a sparse but vital network of water and infrastructure in this late-1960s survey. Much of the activity centers on the Adobe Springs Creek drainage, where the small Spring Creek Cem serves as a quiet marker of early settlement in an otherwise remote landscape. This period of the late twentieth century saw significant industrial utility projects across the region, represented here by the prominent Pipeline corridors cutting across the western sections. The terrain is deeply incised by intermittent drainage patterns, including the headwaters of West Prong Creek, revealing a landscape where topography dictated the placement of ranch roads and remote homesteading sites.
