1968 Map of Dragon

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The settlement of Dragon sits at the junction of Evacuation Creek and Dragon Canyon in this high-desert survey of the Utah-Colorado border. The landscape is defined by the extraction economy of the late 1960s, evidenced by the Evacuation Creek Gas Field and a series of Prospects and a Mine in the northern hills. The terrain is deeply incised, with Park Canyon and Atchee Canyon cutting through high plateaus that lead toward Park Mountain and Rabbit Mtn. A single Grave noted near the Industrial Waste Pond south of the Dragon townsite hints at the human cost and isolation of early industrial outposts in the Uinta Basin. Several Jeep Trails provide the only access across Rector Ridge and the surrounding draws, connecting the remote watercourses of Texas Creek and Missouri Creek to the larger drainage system.
