1958 Map of Citadel Plateau

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Yampa River carves through the northern reaches of this Colorado landscape, flowing past the entrance to Juniper Canyon and the notable heights of Juniper Mtn. This mid-century survey reveals a land defined by high plateaus and ranching, where the massive Citadel Plateau and the Danforth Hills dominate the topography. Local habitation is represented by established family holdings like Shelton Ranch, Sweeney Ranch, and Stone Ranch, which are situated along the drainage systems of Price Creek and Deception Creek. Evidence of early energy exploration is visible in the southeastern corner, where an Oil Field and various Oil Wells are located near Maudlin Gulch. The map illustrates a complex network of dry washes and gulches, including Wild Horse Ridge and Wolf Mountain, which provide critical context for the region's historical land use and water management via features like the Dry Lake Reservoir.
