1986 Map of Bald Mountain

About this map

Bald Mountain dominates this portion of Moffat County, rising above a network of seasonal drainages and dry washes that define the high desert topography. This 1980s landscape is primarily defined by its hydrological features and infrastructure, including a prominent Pipeline and isolated Drill Hole locations that suggest early energy exploration in the region. Water sources were critical to the livestock operations here, as evidenced by the Corral and named springs such as Cutshaw Spring. The drainage pattern is complex, with Red Wash in the north and the Hardgrove Run system to the south, both of which cut through the arid soil near Lucas Hill. This map provides a clear record of the area's grazing and industrial footprint before late-20th-century developments changed the local land use.
