1961 Map of Grieve Reservoir

About this map

The Little Snake River defines the southern boundary of this 1961 survey, where the borders of Wyoming and Colorado meet alongside Carbon, Moffat, and Routt counties. This high-altitude ranching landscape is characterized by its seasonal movement of livestock, evidenced by the Stock Driveway and specialized locations like the Savery Corral and Divide Hdqrs Corral. At the center of the sheet, the Grieve Reservoir sits tucked between Horse Mountain and Little Horse Mountain, serving as a vital water source for the arid Reader Basin. Local infrastructure supporting the small community includes the Battle Creek Sch and the Anderson Cem near the river, while the Medicine Bow National Forest covers the eastern elevations. Remnants of early homesteading and range management appear throughout, from the Boyer Ranch in the north to the Belvidere Ditch, which channels water across the broken terrain.
