1969 Map of The Nipple SE

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Greasewood Gulch cuts a deep, winding path through this corner of Moffat County, defining a landscape marked by arid drainages and isolated water sources. This 1969 field check reveals a territory primarily utilized for resource extraction and livestock, evidenced by the presence of a Corral and several widely spaced Drill Holes. The topography is anchored in the southwest by Red Wash Butte, which overlooks the ephemeral Red Wash. Reliance on sparse water is a clear theme of the era, with only a few locations like a Flowing Well and an occasional Spring providing reliable points for cattle or exploration. The network of unimproved roads and lack of formal settlements emphasize the utilitarian, open-range character of the high desert at the end of the 1960s.
