About this map

Craig serves as the focal point for this late 1960s survey, situated where Fortification Creek meets the Yampa River. The town layout is defined by major corridors such as Victory Way, Ranney St, and Yampa St, which connect the civic core at the Courthouse and Post Office to local institutions like Memorial Hospital and the County High School. Educational landmarks including Sunset School, Breezeway School, and Yampa School are clearly marked, documenting the community's mid-century footprint.

Industrial and recreational activity is scattered across the landscape, from the Drive-in Theatre and Fairground on the east side to various Gravel Pits and a Pumping Station in the outlying areas. To the west, the terrain rises sharply toward Cedar Mountain, while to the south, Pine Ridge looms over the Yampa River valley. This topography, punctuated by numerous dry drainages like Sand Gulch and Cedar Mountain Gulch, highlights the intersection of high-desert geography and civic infrastructure in Moffat County.
