1968 Map of Mormon Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Southern Ute Indian Reservation Boundary bisects this landscape of deep drainages and high mesas, marking a significant transition in land management and historical use. To the north, the terrain is carved by Alkali Gulch and Hay Gulch, where local education and community life centered on the Rockvale School and nearby Hay Gulch Cem. The southern half of the map is defined by the La Plata River valley and its confluence with Cherry Creek, a drainage system flanked by the steep walls of Wildwater Canyon. Water infrastructure is vital to this arid environment, evidenced by the Mormon Reservoir and its Spillway. The presence of a Gas Well and a Pipeline suggests the mid-century industrial development occurring alongside established ranching and agricultural sites like the Kline Cem.
