About this map

Cold Spring Mountain dominates the southern landscape of this 1960s survey along the Colorado and Wyoming border, where high-elevation drainage systems like Chokecherry Gulch and Goodmans Gulch carve through the terrain. The region's agricultural and ranching foundations are evident in the presence of established operations such as Elk Ranch and Station Ranch, while the surrounding infrastructure includes scattered Gravel Pits and various Oil Wells. Water management in this arid environment is highlighted by the Arthurs Reservoir and Fish Reservoirs, supporting the livestock and seasonal camps like Sugarloaf Camp. The northern border with Wyoming is defined by the open expanse of Johnson Flats and Diamond Field, where a complex network of ephemeral drainages including Fonce Wash and Talamantes Creek underscores the importance of every spring and draw in this high-desert ranching country.
