2000 Map of Northgate

USGS Topo · Published 2004

About this map

North Platte River waters carve a complex path through this high-altitude landscape where the Medicine Bow National Forest and Routt National Forest meet at the Colorado-Wyoming border. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks like Independence Mountain and Sentinel Mountain, with the Platte River Wilderness protecting the river's northern corridor. This area was an active mining and ranching hub, evidenced by the Camp Creek Mine, Fluorspar Mine, and Penbar Mine scattered across the slopes. A sophisticated irrigation network of gravity-fed channels, including Capron Ditch, Newport Ditch, and Cumberland Ditch, diverts water from the Canadian River and Pinkham Creek to support local agricultural operations like the Ginger Quill Ranch. The small settlement of Northgate serves as a critical junction for both the railroad and local road networks near the foot of Watson Mountain.
