About this map

The town of Hayden serves as the focal point of this early 1970s landscape, situated along the northern bank of the Yampa River. The area's infrastructure reflects a mix of agricultural and industrial utility, characterized by the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad corridor and local community landmarks like the County Fairground and Roadside Park. South of the river, the terrain is defined by a series of north-draining watercourses including Cary Gulch, Smuin Gulch, and Stokes Gulch.

Evidence of local ranching and water management is visible through several named catchments, such as the John C Temple Reservoir No 1 and Greasewood Flat Reservoir. Resource extraction is also present, with several Mines and Gravel Pits scattered near the gulches. This survey provides a look at the region’s development before significant modern expansion, preserving the locations of Storage Bins and early utility sites like the Sewage Disposal Ponds.
