1969 Map of Reservoir Draw

About this map

The Little Snake River winds through the southeastern corner of this Moffat County landscape, a stark departure from the arid drainage patterns of Powder Wash and Reservoir Draw that dominate the terrain. Surveyed in the late 1960s, this area is defined by its industrial and hydraulic infrastructure, including a prominent Pipeline cutting across the northern sections and several Drill Hole sites and a Drill Hole Well. The presence of Reservoir Spring in the southwest suggests a vital water source in an otherwise dry network of draws like Horse Draw. Situated just south of the Wyoming state line, the map captures a remote section of the Colorado borderlands where mineral exploration and water management intersect.
