1965 Map of Yellow Jacket

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The Dolores River cuts through the northern reaches of this Colorado landscape, flowing past Lone Dome and the wooded boundary of the San Juan National Forest. In the mid-1960s, the area's agricultural and rural character is defined by a network of drainage features such as Sandstone Canyon, Yellowjacket Canyon, and Ryman Draw. The small settlements of Yellow Jacket and Lewis serve as local hubs, connected by roads and a prominent pipeline that traverses the terrain. This survey provides a clear view of local heritage sites, including the Emmanuel Ch and the nearby Fairview Cem, situated among the open fields and high desert draws. The mapping of a lateral canal reflects the importance of water management in this high-altitude ranching and farming region of Montezuma County.
