1971 Map of Hayden Gulch

About this map

Williams Fork Mountains dominate this high-country landscape, defined by a network of drainage gulches and resource extraction in the early 1970s. The area shows a transition toward energy development, marked by a Strip Mine, several smaller Mine sites, a Gas Well, and numerous Drill Hole locations throughout the terrain. Water management is central to the map's geography, featuring several named reservoirs like Dillabaugh Res, Detwiller Res, and the larger Wyman Reservoir at the southern edge. The northern half is deeply incised by drainages such as Berry Gulch, Temple Gulch, and Hayden Gulch, while the southern portion transitions into the protected lands of the Routt National Forest. The presence of a Gaging Sta along the East Fork Williams Fork reflects the ongoing hydrological monitoring of these vital Colorado headwaters.
