1966 Map of Limestone Hill

About this map

Douglas Mountain dominates this portion of Moffat County, rising significantly above the surrounding plateau and draws. The high-altitude terrain is marked by a series of prominent mesas and peaks, most notably John Weller Mesa and Tisdell Allred Peak, which serve as primary landmarks for navigating the complex topography. This 1966 field-checked survey highlights the scarcity of water in this arid environment, identifying vital points such as Logging Spring and the drainage network of Corral Springs Draw and Thompson Draw. The landscape's character is defined by its isolation, with only a few Jeep Trails providing access through rugged corridors like Sawmill Canyon and Happy Hollow. For the local historian, the inclusion of named features like Bill Weller Mesa and Chase Hill suggests the historical footprint of early ranching families or surveyors who first navigated these western slopes.
