1969 Map of Lang Spring

About this map

Sevenmile Ridge dominates this portion of the high desert landscape in Moffat County, where a network of ephemeral drainages and vital water sources defined the area's utility in the late 1960s. The presence of Lang Spring and Spence Spring highlights the critical points of interest in an otherwise arid environment, serving as landmarks for local travel and grazing. These water features are connected by a sparse infrastructure of a Jeep Trail, illustrating how the terrain was navigated during this era of resource exploration. The map also records evidence of geological or industrial surveying with a noted Drill Hole in the northern sections. Topographic details trace the complex descent into valleys such as Yellow Cat Wash, Dugout Draw, and Lake Draw, providing a precise look at the drainage patterns flowing through the region's draws and gulches.
