About this map

Williams Fork and its complex network of tributaries carve through the borderlands of Moffat and Routt Counties in this early 1970s survey. The landscape is defined by resource extraction and high-altitude water management, evidenced by numerous drill holes and the Cedar Creek Mine situated near Cedar Creek. The small settlement at Pagoda serves as a focal point along the Highland Ditch, while the surrounding terrain rises to landmarks like Daton Peak and the expanse of Oklahoma Flat.

Water infrastructure is prominent across the sheet, from the Sullivan Reservoir in the south to Sagebrush Reservoir No 1 and Bennett Reservoir further north. The eastern edge of the map enters the Routt National Forest, where the topography becomes increasingly complex around Round Mountain and the headwaters of Indian Run Creek. Numerous trails and jeep trails crisscross the gulches, connecting isolated sites like Graves and various gas wells.
