1969 Map of Thornburgh Gulch

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Little Snake River winds through the northern portion of this Colorado landscape, defined by a complex network of agricultural irrigation and high-desert drainage. Recorded in 1969, the map reveals an intricate system of water management including the Woodbury Ditch, Trowel Ditch, Gibson Ditch, and Heeley Ditch, which redirect river water to support local ranching or agriculture in an otherwise arid environment. The terrain is deeply incised by numerous named drainages such as Thornburgh Gulch, Scandinavian Gulch, and Tommys Gulch. Permanent water sources in this rugged Moffat County area are vital markers for land use, specifically Thornburgh Spring, Conway Spring, and Monasco Spring. A notable industrial presence is marked by a cross-country Pipeline and a few isolated extractive sites like a Gravel Pit and an exploratory Drill Hole.
