1987 Map of Lost Spring

About this map

Ticaboo stands as a primary point of human activity in this arid Garfield County landscape, complete with an Athletic Field, a Trailer Park, and nearby Sewage Disposal Ponds. The map reveals a reliance on water management in a desert environment, evidenced by the Lost Spring Reservoir, Highway Reservoir, and Cane Spring Well. This 1980s-era topography illustrates the intersection of infrastructure and geological isolation, where mining activity is noted by a Mine and Adit near the northern boundary. The terrain is dominated by high-relief landforms such as Shootaring Point and the Little Rockies, part of the larger Henry Mountains system. Drainage patterns are defined by several watercourses, including Shitamaring Creek, Hansen Creek, and Smith Fork, which carve through the Cane Spring Desert.
