1964 Map of Sagebrush Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Cathedral Bluffs dominate the western horizon of this Rio Blanco County terrain, marking a dramatic shift in the landscape where high ridges descend into a complex network of canyons and draws. In the mid-1960s, this area of the Sagebrush Hill quadrangle was characterized by its cattle ranching and seasonal hunting activity, evidenced by the presence of Beard Cow Camp near Calamity Ridge and the S.C. Hunting Club to the southeast. Water sources were critical in this environment, with named points such as Maverick Spring, Cottonwood Spring, and Lem Springs supporting livestock and wildlife across the drainage basins of Big Duck Creek and Little Duck Creek. A network of Jeep Trails provides the primary access through the ridges, including Dead Horse Ridge and Airplane Ridge, reflecting the practical navigation of this high-plateau country before modern development.
