1966 Map of Juniper Hot Springs

About this map

The Yampa River winds through the high desert of Moffat County, carving the dramatic Juniper Canyon between Little Juniper Mountain and the surrounding plateaus. This mid-century survey captures the remote settlement of Juniper Hot Springs at a time when the river's path was the primary architect of the local landscape. The map details the transition from the steep canyon walls to the broad, open Axial Basin in the south, a region defined by extensive drainage systems like Maudlin Gulch and Jesse Gulch.
