1966 Map of Easton Gulch

About this map

The Axial Basin floor is defined by a complex network of dry gulches and seasonal drainages, reflecting the arid ranching landscape of Moffat County in the mid-1960s. High points such as Maggies Nipple provide topographic relief above a series of deep cuts including Maudlin Gulch and Ben Morgan Canyon. This terrain, while sparse in permanent settlements, shows evidence of human activity through scattered prospects and gravel pits, likely related to the region's mineral potential or road maintenance for remote ranch access.
