1959 Map of Moss Agate Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Medicine Bow River winds through this high-plains landscape, where the legacy of early ranching and geological interest is clearly etched into the terrain. Names like the Walker Homestead and the Old Bennett Place point toward a history of homesteading and early settlement along the river's drainage. The map highlights a sprawling Petrified Forest Area to the east of Sand Creek, indicating a region rich in paleontological significance that stands in contrast to the functional water-management structures like Moss Agate Reservoir and Howard Reservoir. A remote Landing Field near the northern border suggests the logistical importance of aerial access in this sparsely populated portion of Carbon County. Revisions made in the mid-1980s reflect changes in the landscape several decades after the original mid-century survey, providing a point of comparison for the evolution of local land use.
