1986 Map of Lone Mountain

About this map

The Little Snake River carves a central path through this landscape, dividing the high elevations of Douglas Mountain to the west from Cross Mountain to the east. This 1986 survey illustrates a topography shaped by seasonal water movement, where drainages like East Boone Draw and Wild Cow Draw channel toward the river corridor. The presence of a Gaging Sta along the riverbank indicates the ongoing importance of hydrological monitoring in this arid Moffat County environment during the late 20th century. High points such as Lone Mountain and the sheltered Thompson Canyon overlook a terrain punctuated by isolated water sources, including Thompson Springs and several unnamed Springs. These water features were essential anchors for land use in a region defined by its extreme relief and riparian transition zones.
