1969 Map of Mayberry Spring

About this map

Bighole Gulch and Greasewood Gulch carve through this high-altitude landscape of Northwest Colorado during the late 1960s. The topography is defined by its water sources and ranching infrastructure, featuring named landmarks such as Kelly Spring, Mayberry Spring, and Clayton Spring. Evidence of human activity and utility development is sparse but significant, marked by a noted Corral and a Pipeline traversing the terrain. Surveyed at the end of the decade, the map records the locations of several Drill Holes, suggesting mineral or geological exploration in the region's remote basins. This survey captures a moment when the high desert of Moffat County remained largely open range, dominated by intermittent drainage systems and isolated springs essential for local cattle operations.
