1969 Map of Iron Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Iron Springs and the drainage of Lay Creek dominate this 1960s landscape in Moffat County. The terrain is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and deep incisions including Bord Gulch and Dressler Gulch, illustrating the high-desert topography of Northwest Colorado. Evidence of resource exploration is scattered throughout the survey, with several markers for an Oil Well and specific survey points like Drill Hole 6758. These industrial features, alongside numerous instances of a simple Well or Spring, suggest a landscape where water and mineral rights were central to local land use. This survey captures a moment of quiet industrial activity before more modern developments altered the region's character.
