1964 Map of Texas Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The high desert drainage system of Texas Creek and its many tributaries, including the North Fork and South Fork, dominates this mid-1960s landscape in Rio Blanco County. The map captures an era of active resource extraction, evidenced by numerous Gas Wells and Drill Holes scattered across the uplands. Industrial movement is facilitated by a network of unimproved routes like the Dragon Trail and Douglas Trail, which navigate the elevation changes around Rabbit Mountain and Park Mountain. Water management in this arid region is highlighted by the Red Wash Reservoir along the Red Wash, where the Middle Fork and West Fork converge. To the southwest, the terrain transitions toward Missouri Creek and the steep contours of Park Canyon, showing the intersection of natural geography and the burgeoning energy infrastructure of the period.
