1964 Map of Dove Creek

About this map

Dove Creek serves as the primary hub of this high-plateau landscape in Dolores County, where mid-century agriculture and transportation infrastructure dominate the terrain. A clear network of canyons and draws, such as Wilson Draw and West Branch Canyon, defines the drainage patterns of the region, while a long-distance Pipeline cuts across the western sections. The town itself is well-developed for its size, featuring a Municipal Airport, a substantial Grain Elevator, and community amenities like an Athletic Field and a Drive-in Theater located just to the west. For those looking into family history, the Peel Cem and another local Cem provide important genealogical touchpoints. The presence of a Radio Facility and numerous survey markers indicates the area's role as a logistical and communication waypoint near the Utah state line.
