1971 Map of Figure Four Spring

About this map

Black Sulphur Creek and Yankee Gulch carve through this high-altitude landscape along the border of Rio Blanco and Garfield Counties. The 1970s terrain is characterized by a network of drainage systems, including West Fawn Creek and the curiously titled No Name Creek. Industrial activity is evident through numerous Prospect locations and Drill Holes, particularly near the Eureka site. The map documents a transition in land use, where rugged natural features like Red Point meet a sparse infrastructure of Jeep Trails and Pack Trails. Local hydrology is well-recorded, from the namesake Figure Four Spring to the clustered Springs feeding Mud Springs Creek, providing a detailed look at water sources essential for survey and resource extraction in this corner of Colorado.
