1969 Map of Sheepherder Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Sheepherder Springs serves as a vital water source in this arid high-desert landscape of northwestern Colorado. Surveyed in 1969, the topography is dominated by the prominent escarpment of the Vermilion Bluffs and the distinctive peak of Lookout Mtn. The map reveals a complex drainage network, where the North Fork Sand Wash and Sheepherder Springs Draw carve through the sedimentary layers. Human activity is sparse but evident through a solitary Drill Hole in the northwestern sector, indicating the mineral or geological exploration typical of Moffat County. The presence of Twin Buttes in the south provides a navigational landmark for a region defined by its significant relief and seasonal waterways like Lake Draw and Yellow Cat Wash.
