1971 Map of Hooker Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Yampa River corridor dominates the southern portion of this landscape, serving as a vital artery for irrigation and transport in Routt County. The winding river is paralleled by the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad, which historically connected the region's agricultural and mining interests. An intricate network of water management features, including the Shelton Ditch, Walker Ditch, and Marshall Roberts Ditch, reflects the effort to redirect water from the river to the surrounding valley floor. To the north, the terrain rises toward the namesake Hooker Mountain, characterized by numerous gulches and small-scale water storage sites such as Shaefermeyer Reservoir No 1 and Morgan Creek Reservoir No 1. Significant elevation changes are marked by Morgan Creek Falls, while the southeastern corner shows early evidence of industrial activity with a labeled Strip Mine and Meadow Gulch.
