1980 Map of King Creek

About this map

The Green Mountain Reservoir dominates the southern landscape of this 1980 survey, where the Blue River flows into the impounded waters near the settlement of Heeney. This high-elevation terrain is defined by sharp elevation shifts between the Williams Fork Mountains to the east and Lawson Ridge to the north. Resource extraction and water management are evident through the Big Four Mine, several mountain prospects, and the Noonan Ditch system. The map documents a recreational and industrial transition, showing established sites like Green Mountain Camp and the Willows Campground alongside infrastructure like the Power Plant, Spillway, and Gaging Station. Moving north, the land becomes a network of steep drainages including Elliott Creek, Mc Queary Gulch, and Johnson Gulch, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Grand and Summit County border.
