1966 Map of Devils Hole Gulch

About this map

The Danforth Hills define this high-altitude landscape along the border of Moffat and Rio Blanco counties, where mid-century industrial activity met a network of remote drainages. By the late 1960s, the terrain was heavily utilized for natural resources, evidenced by numerous oil wells, a pumping station, and a radio facility near Wilson Creek Camp. This industrial footprint is interspersed with natural landmarks like Old Baldy and Coal Butte.
