2010 Map of East Timberlake Creek

About this map

Delta Number Two Mine sits in the high desert drainage of the Colorado plateau, marking a landscape defined by mineral extraction and seasonal watercourses. This 2010 survey reveals the geographic relationship between resource deposits and the sparse infrastructure of Moffat County. To the south, the Housel Gold Placer Mine and the Farnsworth Uranium Deposit illustrate the diverse geologic interests of the region, from precious metals to energy resources. The terrain is deeply etched by East Timberlake Creek and West Timberlake Creek, which converge as they flow northward through the arid basin. Navigating this area relies on a network of rugged paths such as County Rd-17 and County Rd-3, which wind around landmarks like Housel Gulch, providing access to these remote mining sites and grazing lands.
