1969 Map of Lang Spring

About this map

Lang Spring provides a critical water source in this arid corner of Moffat County, which was surveyed by photogrammetric methods in the late 1960s. The landscape is dominated by the prominent elevation of Sevenmile Ridge, a feature that dictates the drainage patterns of the surrounding draws. Water distribution is further traced through named features like Spence Spring and the ephemeral course of Yellow Cat Wash. Evidence of resource exploration is visible at a specific Drill Hole in the northern sections, while a network of Jeep Trails provides the primary access through the broken terrain. The map captures the area as it appeared before the mid-1970s, documenting the seasonal watercourses of Dugout Draw and Sevenmile Draw that characterize this high desert environment.
