1964 Map of Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Young Ranch and the small settlement of Basin anchor this mid-century survey of the San Miguel County high country. The landscape is defined by the sweeping Dry Creek Basin and a network of deep drainages including Dry Creek Canyon and Broad Canyon. Water, always a critical resource in this arid terrain, is marked by features like the Poison Spider Spring and Cottonwood Pond, while a Gaging Sta on Dry Creek and a remote Landing Area near Nelson Creek indicate the infrastructure of the 1960s. Land use is further evidenced by a Gravel Pit and a solitary Drill Hole in the northern reach near The Burn. Ranching life and local transit are represented by the intersection at Beards Corner and an old Driveway that cuts across the basin floor toward the high ridges of Horse Park.
