1994 Map of Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

Dry Creek Basin dominates this portion of San Miguel County, showing a landscape defined by seasonal watercourses and ranching history in the mid-1990s. The Dry Creek Basin State Wildlife Area covers a significant portion of the territory, while local names like Beards Corner and the Young Ranch reflect a sparse but persistent human presence. The intricate drainage network of Dead Horse Creek, Nelson Creek, and Big Gypsum Creek carves through the terrain, leading toward the deep incisions of Broad Canyon and East Broad Canyon. Notable landmarks such as Poison Spider Spring and Cottonwood Pond indicate critical water sources in an arid environment. The map also documents industrial and agricultural infrastructure, including a Stock Driveway, numerous 4WD trails, and a prominent Pipeline that traverses the basin diagonally.
