1964 Map of White Coyote Draw

About this map

Douglas Creek and its many seasonal tributaries carve a complex network through this high-plateau landscape in Rio Blanco County. Surveyed in the mid-1960s, the terrain is defined by deep draws and steep ridges like Rocky Point and Brushy Point. While the area remains largely undeveloped, human activity is evident through specific cultural markers, including ancient Pictographs found near the creek and industrial additions such as a north-south pipeline and several drill holes. Local ranching history is anchored by the Brady Ranch and the Mitchel Place, which occupy more accessible ground near the watercourses. The drainage patterns of White Coyote Draw, Cathedral Creek, and Pollock Canyon dictate the natural travel corridors through this high country, providing a clear view of the land as it functioned before later twentieth-century shifts in land use.
