1966 Map of Sugarloaf Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Sugarloaf Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this high-desert landscape along the border of Wyoming and Colorado in the mid-1960s. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of drainages, including the prominent Vermillion Creek and Talamantes Creek, which carve through the arid plateaus of Fonce Flat. This era of land use is characterized by energy exploration, with numerous Oil Wells scattered across the northern sections of the map, particularly near the Wyoming line. Small bodies of water like Fonce Lake and G Lake punctuate the landscape, serving as rare catchments in a region dominated by ephemeral features such as Fonce Wash and Canyon Creek. The map provides a precise record of industrial activity and natural topography at a time when remote oil exploration was shaping the development of the northern Moffat County panhandle.
