1982 Map of Dove Creek
USGS Topo · Published 1982About this map
McPhee Dam stands as a massive engineering project in progress along the Dolores River on this 1982 map of southwestern Colorado. The landscape transitions from the agricultural plateaus near Dove Creek and Pleasant View into the canyon-carved terrain of Hovenweep Canyon and Sandstone Canyon. In the high country to the east, mining activity is evident with the Effie B Mine, Sarah Ellen Mine, and Minnie Jean Mine located near Spud Patch Camp. This survey documents the region just before the completion of the McPhee Reservoir, which would significantly alter the hydrology and local geography of the area. The map also traces the high-altitude reaches of the Uncompahgre National Forest and the dramatic relief of Lone Cone and Dolores Peak.
