1969 Map of Sage Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Hogback Ridge dominates the center of this Rich County landscape, a prominent geological spine separating the drainage systems of Sixmile Creek to the north and Duck Creek to the south. In the late 1960s, this area remained largely undeveloped rangeland, defined by its intricate network of water sources. Small-scale resource extraction is evident near the South Fork of Duck Creek, where a Mine and several Gravel Pits are located. The abundance of named springs, such as Barrel Spring, Rabbit Spring, and Hidden Spring, suggests the critical importance of water rights and livestock watering holes in this high-altitude environment. To the south, the landscape transitions toward the Sage Creek valley, where a managed Canal appears, indicating the move from natural runoff to irrigation infrastructure for local agriculture near the Wyoming border.
