1969 Map of Iron Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Iron Springs and the surrounding high desert of Moffat County are defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and essential water sources documented in the late 1960s. The landscape is characterized by deeply etched terrain including Bord Gulch and Dressler Gulch, which feed into the central artery of Lay Creek. These features illustrate the vital importance of water management in this arid region, as evidenced by various Spring labels and a designated Well located in the middle of the quadrangle. Industrial activity in the area is sparse but notable, marked by an occasional Drill Hole that suggests early exploration of the region's subsurface resources. The map highlights the vast, open character of northwestern Colorado before modern development, focusing on the natural topography and the few man-made interventions required to sustain life and industry in the high sagebrush country.
