1969 Map of Craig

About this map

Craig serves as the focal point of this 1960s survey, illustrating a period of established civic infrastructure and emerging suburban-style development. The downtown grid is anchored by the Courthouse, Po, and Memorial Hospital, while the surrounding residential expansion includes the Sunset Sch and a dedicated Trailer Park. The transportation network is dominated by the east-west corridor of Victory Way and the industrial presence of the D & R G W railroad, which parallels the Yampa River south of town. Natural landmarks like Cedar Mountain and Pine Ridge frame the northern and western horizons, while the surrounding landscape is marked by a mix of agricultural and industrial utility, including the Craig Ditch, several Gas Wells, and the Fairground. Local recreational and service sites such as the Drive-in Theatre and the Cemetery reflect the mid-century social landscape of Moffat County.
