1971 Map of Dunckley

About this map

Routt National Forest dominates the southern landscape of this 1971 survey, where the rugged topography of the Williams Fork mountains gives way to the open basin of Williams Park. The settlement at Dunckley serves as a central point in an area defined by water management and resource extraction, featuring several irrigation canals like the Williams Park Ditch and No 2 Ditch. These waterways support the livestock and agricultural efforts visible at Dubeau Meadow, while a network of reservoirs including Shaffer Res, Dunckley and Dubeau Reservoir, and Sellers-Crowell Reservoir manages the snowmelt from the surrounding peaks.
