1986 Map of Juniper Mountain

About this map

Juniper Mountain dominates this portion of Moffat County, rising sharply above the winding path of the Yampa River. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems and water resources, from the high Boxelder Spring on the mountain's northern slope to the contained waters of Dry Lake Reservoir in the southwest. This mid-1980s topography reveals an area primarily shaped by natural landforms and light industrial activity, evidenced by the presence of a Gravel Pit and a lone Oil Well near the southern boundary. Steep canyons and seasonal watercourses like Juniper Canyon and Deception Creek illustrate the erosive power of the local environment. Further south, the terrain levels out into expansive gulches such as Temple Gulch and Hale Gulch, where a Storage Bin suggests a connection to the region's ranching or agricultural operations.
