1963 Map of Gibson Gulch

About this map

White River National Forest and the Castle State Wildlife Area dominate this high-elevation terrain in Garfield County, where the drainage systems of Gibson Gulch and Jackson Gulch cut through the landscape. The map reveals an area defined by water management and resource extraction, evidenced by the presence of a Drill Hole, a Gas Well, and agricultural infrastructure like the Porter Ditch and Highline Ditch. A Jeep Trail provides access through the southern reaches of the quadrangle, passing near the curiously named Uncle Bob Spring.
