1967 Map of Creager Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

San Isabel National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Huerfano County, defined by a complex system of water management and diverse terrain. The 1967 field survey illustrates the critical role of upland water storage, featuring a cluster of reservoirs including Creager Reservoir, Wolf Reservoir, Roach Reservoir, and JM Reservoir. These water bodies are positioned at the headwaters of seasonal drainages that feed into Muddy Creek, reflecting the essential ranching and irrigation infrastructure of the southern Colorado mountains. To the south, the terrain levels into the distinctive Racetrack Flats, a feature bordered by Poison Pantleon Canyon Creek. Near the southern edge of the sheet, the small settlement of Malachite serves as the primary human landmark, while the presence of the Montez Ditch further highlights the local reliance on engineered waterways in this arid upland environment.
