1966 Map of Beaver Basin

About this map

Cold Spring Mountain and Middle Mountain dominate this corner of Northwest Colorado, where the high-altitude landscape is defined by remote camps and vital water sources. The map captures a moment in the mid-1960s when the region served primarily as rangeland, evidenced by the presence of Buckley Cow Camp and numerous named springs like Spitzie Springs and Cottonwood Springs. A network of unpaved paths and the Jeep Trail navigate the complex topography of Antone Gap and the steep slopes of Diamond Peak. Located just east of the Utah State Line and south of the Wyoming border, the area shows the reliance on natural drainage systems like Beaver Creek and Talamantes Creek for livestock and land management before more modern infrastructure reached this part of Moffat County.
