1970 Map of Yellowbank Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Yellowbank Creek and its neighboring drainage systems define this section of the Colorado high plains, captured here through aerial photography from the late 1960s and updated in the mid-1980s. The landscape is heavily marked by ranching and resource management, evidenced by numerous named reservoirs including Bombing Range Reservoir, Schoolhouse Reservoir, and Stauder Reservoir. These water features, alongside a network of family-named windmills like Weinegar Windmill and Derringer Windmill, suggest a reliance on subsurface water to support livestock in a dry environment. The presence of Dry Lake further emphasizes the seasonal nature of the local hydrology. Industrial activity is indicated at the southern edge of the sheet by the Big Pit, while landmarks like Wonder and Mustang Creek provide geographic orientation for researchers tracking local land-use patterns or family holdings.
