1968 Map of Dragon

About this map

Dragon stands as a focal point in this high-desert landscape on the border of Utah and Colorado, where industrial extraction and isolated geography meet. This 1968 survey, revised in the late 1980s, highlights the Evacuation Creek Gas Field and several resource extraction sites including a Mine and various Prospects scattered across the drainages. The area is defined by a network of deep incisions like Park Canyon and Dragon Canyon, which funnel toward Evacuation Creek. Evidence of settlement and activity is sparse but significant, with a Grave and an Industrial Waste Pond noted near the central drainage. The presence of a Trench, multiple Jeep Trails, and a Pipeline reflects the 20th-century development of the region's energy infrastructure amidst the complex topography of Rector Ridge and Park Mountain.
