1963 Map of Campstool

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Campstool sits at the northern edge of this high plains landscape, where the Burlington Northern railroad follows the winding path of Crow Creek. This map, edited in 1978 from 1960s field data and 1976 aerial revisions, captures the borderlands of Wyoming and Colorado. The terrain is defined by dramatic drainage systems, including the steep descent into Bull Canyon and the prominent Chalk Bluffs along the Laramie Co and Weld Co line. The ranching history of the region is evident in the presence of outlying outposts such as West Porter Cow Camp and East Porter Cow Camp. These remote sites are connected by a network of unimproved roads and light-duty trails that navigate the rugged breaks near Porter Draw and Porter Creek, illustrating the persistence of livestock operations in this arid stretch of the High Plains.
