1966 Map of Veatch Gulch

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The White River flows through a landscape defined by ranching infrastructure and high-elevation gulches in this mid-1960s survey of Rio Blanco County. Irrigation is central to the local geography, as evidenced by the Miller Highland Ditch and the Miller Creek Ditch, which trace the contours of the river valley to support mountain agriculture. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the White River National Forest, where the terrain climbs toward Oak Ridge and several prominent drainage systems including Veatch Gulch, Moog Gulch, and Ball Gulch. Extensive networks of Jeep Trails and standard Trails provide access through the national forest boundaries and across various forks of Miller Creek. This map captures a specific era of Western water management and public land use before modern development altered the remote character of these high-country waterways.
