1969 Map of Sheepherder Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Vermillion Bluffs dominate the northern landscape of this Moffat County terrain, where high-altitude ridges and deep drainage systems define the character of the land in the late 1960s. The prominent Lookout Mtn stands as a primary landmark overlooking a complex network of seasonal watercourses, including the North Fork Sand Wash and Yellow Cat Wash. This area is shaped by its drainage patterns, most notably the Sheepherder Springs Draw which flows toward the southern boundary near Twin Buttes. The presence of a Drill Hole in the northern reaches, near Lake Draw, indicates early resource exploration in this arid reach of Colorado. Sheepherder Springs itself serves as a vital water point in an otherwise dry and dissected topography, illustrating the essential relationship between water sources and land use in the high desert.
