About this map

The Cathedral Bluffs dominate this Colorado landscape, characterized by deeply incised gulches and high ridges in the mid-1960s. The settlement of Dillon provides a central reference point in an area otherwise defined by resource exploration and ranching infrastructure. Numerous prospects are scattered across the terrain, particularly near Black Cabin Gulch and Stake Springs Draw, indicating the active geological surveying of the era.

Functional land use is evident through the inclusion of a Landing Strip on a high plateau and a pipeline traversing the northern reaches. The drainage network is intricately mapped, featuring the Right Fork and Middle Fork systems that feed into Cathedral Creek. These features, along with names like Horse Pasture Canyon and Wagonroad Ridge, reflect a working landscape where travel followed the natural contours of the ridgelines and creek beds.
