1969 Map of Fortification NE

About this map

Fourmile Creek and Willow Creek carve through the high country of Moffat County in this late 1960s topographic study. The landscape is characterized by its drainage patterns and industrial utility, rather than permanent settlements. Modern energy infrastructure is evident through the presence of a Pipeline and a Gas Well located south of the township line between T. 12 N. and T. 11 N.. The terrain is navigated by a network of seasonal routes, including a Jeep Trail that follows the contours of Mud Spring Draw. Hydrological monitoring is also documented at a Gaging Sta along the southern reaches of Willow Creek. This map captures a specific moment in the mid-century development of Colorado's rural resource lands, focusing on water management and early energy extraction routes.
