1968 Map of The Saddle

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Kimball Mountain and Horse Mountain dominate this corner of Garfield County, separated by a complex network of gulches and ridges. The 1968 aerial survey work records a landscape defined by significant water management features, notably the Caughman Ditch and Cottonwood Ditch, which suggest the agricultural demands of the high plateau. Between these peaks lies The Saddle, a prominent natural pass connecting Cow Ridge to the surrounding terrain. Small-scale resource extraction or exploration is evidenced by a Drill Hole located near the head of Stewart Gulch. Numerous family-named or local landmarks, such as McMullen Spring and Pedigo Gulch, provide essential reference points for genealogists and local historians tracing land use in this western Colorado drainage basin above Roan Creek.
