1970 Map of Bitter Creek Well

About this map

Bitter Creek Well (Flowing) and the rugged drainage of Bitter Creek define this high-desert landscape on the border of Grand County, Utah, and Mesa County, Colorado. The 1970 field check reveals a terrain primarily shaped by resource extraction and transportation, marked by numerous Drill Holes and a prominent Pipeline cutting across the mesas. In the south, the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad follows the winding path of the Colorado River through Ruby Canyon, while an Old Railroad Grade further north indicates earlier industrial alignments through the wash country.
