1969 Map of Bakers Peak

About this map

Bakers Peak dominates this high-country landscape in Moffat County, where steep drainage systems feed the Little Snake River in the northeast. The terrain is defined by complex watersheds, including Slater Creek, Jack Rabbit Creek, and Mule Creek, which carve through the high elevations between Serviceberry Mountain and Smith Rim. This 1969 field-checked survey reveals an area largely managed for resource and livestock movement, evidenced by the extensive network of Jeep Trails that traverse the ridges and draws. Water management is a central theme of the local geography, from the OVO Reservoir in the south to the Gaging Sta on the river, indicating the importance of monitoring snowmelt and runoff. Other localized landmarks like Fan Rock and a remote Radio Facility provide points of navigation in this high-altitude cattle and sheep grazing country.
