1969 Map of East Timberlake Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Placer Mine sits at the head of a drainage in this high-altitude landscape of Moffat County, reflecting the area's legacy of mineral exploration. The terrain is deeply carved by the water systems of East Timberlake Creek and West Timberlake Creek, which converge as they flow north. The mapping of numerous Prospects, a single Prospect, and an isolated Mine suggests a period of active geological investigation or small-scale extraction. These human marks are scattered across the slopes above Houser Gulch, where a lone Spring and a Well provide the only indicated water sources in an otherwise arid, high-desert environment. This survey captures a moment when resource exploration shaped the sparse footprint of human activity in northwestern Colorado.
