1968 Map of Carbonera

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Carbonera (Site) sits at the convergence of rugged western Colorado drainages where resource extraction and ranching infrastructure define the landscape. This late 1960s survey illustrates a region increasingly shaped by energy development, evidenced by numerous Gas Wells, a Pumping Sta, and the Pipeline Trail cutting across the terrain. The local topography is dominated by the massive Grassy Mountain to the northeast and a complex network of canyons, including Long Canyon and Dry Canyon. The presence of a Corral and Mitchell Road suggests a continued reliance on the land for livestock, even as technical industrial markers like a Drill Hole and Prospect appear along the banks of West Salt Creek. This map documents the functional intersection of traditional high-desert land use and the mid-century expansion of the natural gas industry.
