1969 Map of The Nipple NE

About this map

The Little Snake River meanders across this corner of Moffat County, carving a distinct path through a landscape defined by drainage systems and resource extraction. Evidence of the region's energy and mineral industry is prevalent, with numerous Gas Wells, Drill Holes, and a Gravel Pit scattered across the terrain. A Flowing Well and several instances of a Spring indicate the vital presence of water in this arid stretch of Colorado. Crossing the river, the Edinger Bridge provides a primary point of transit, while Powder Wash drains into the river from the northwest. The map captures the quiet industrial activity of the late 1960s, showing a network of pipelines and unimproved roads that supported local drilling operations far from any major urban centers.
