1966 Map of Vermillion Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Vermillion Mesa dominates this high-altitude landscape in northwestern Colorado, characterized by a complex network of drainage draws and isolated water sources. The map highlights the localized geography of the mid-1960s, where survival and movement depended on reliably named features like Hughes Spring and Willino Spring. A distinct human element is found at the Hughes Cem, located near the transition from the mesa to Hughes Flats. This area is carved by numerous seasonal watercourses, including Teds Draw and Big Bend Draw, which eventually feed into Vermillion Creek. The presence of several family-named landmarks like Loomis Spring and Martin Draw suggests a history of ranching or early homesteading in this corner of Moffat County.
