1969 Map of Fortification

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Fortification Creek and its various tributaries, including Fourmile Creek and Mud Spring Draw, carve through the high-elevation terrain of Moffat County in the late 1960s. The landscape reflects a mix of traditional ranching and modern infrastructure, evidenced by the presence of Pondella Ranch and the Mesa View Ranch alongside a prominent Pipeline and a small Landing Strip. The eponymous Fortification settlement and the nearby geological formation of Fortification Rocks serve as central landmarks for the area. A network of Jeep Trails provides access through the drainage basins of the North Fork and South Fork, illustrating the area's transition into a more accessible, though still remote, cattle and resource territory.
