1968 Map of Howard Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Young Ranch sits amidst a network of deep drainage systems in this late 1960s survey of Garfield County. The landscape is defined by the sharp verticality of Howard Canyon and Demaree Canyon, where the rugged topography necessitated the use of a Jeep Trail for navigation. Evidence of resource exploration is scattered across the terrain, including a Gas Well in the south and multiple Drill Holes located near the headwaters of Salt Creek. The map documents a period of industrial activity in the high country, marked by a Pipeline and a Gravel Pit near East Salt Creek, reflecting the infrastructure required to manage these remote energy and material sites. Seasonal watercourses like Munger Creek and Camp Gulch further illustrate the complex erosional patterns typical of this Colorado plateau region.
