1971 Map of Breeze Mountain

About this map

Williams Fork Mountains dominate the southern portion of this 1971 survey, where the rugged topography is defined by a dense network of gulches and ridges. The landscape is characterized by its resource extraction and aviation history, notably featuring the Jim Dunn Mine and an Airway Beacon situated on the slopes of Breeze Mountain. The transition from the high peaks like Buck Peak down to the Yampa River in the northeast corner reveals a reliance on water management in this arid region, evidenced by the presence of Dresher Reservoir, Biskup Res, and Basin Reservoir.
