About this map

The Williams Fork carves through the center of this landscape, where the Moffat and Routt County line meets in a remote stretch of northwest Colorado. This 1971 survey captures an area defined by complex water management and high-country ranching infrastructure, evidenced by the presence of Peck Ditch, Sullivan Ditch, and Highland Ditch feeding into various reservoirs. The settlement of Pagoda serves as a lone hub along the river valley, situated below the northern slopes of the Williams Fork Mountains.

To the south, the terrain rises into the Routt National Forest, where resource extraction is indicated by the Cedar Creek Mine and several drill holes. Geographically distinct areas like Oklahoma Flat and Herring Draw contrast with the higher elevations of Daton Peak and Round Mountain. The map also traces a network of jeep trails that navigate the numerous gulches, such as Berry Gulch and Homestead Gulch, which feed into the primary river systems.
