1966 Map of Zenobia Peak

About this map

Zenobia Peak and its surrounding Lookout Tower command the high ground of the Douglas Mountain uplift during this mid-1960s survey. This portion of Dinosaur National Monument in Moffat County reveals a landscape defined by seasonal water and isolated outposts. Long-established sites like Browns Cabin, Garrant Springs Ranch, and Tisdels Place mark the sparse human footprint in a region dominated by intricate drainage systems such as Warm Springs Draw and Holland Draw. In the south, the Yampa River carves through the terrain, while the eastern edge shows evidence of resource extraction at a lonely Mine near Peterson Valley. The map details a network of Jeep Trails that provided the primary access to landmarks like Vaughn & Reds Knob and the Ant Hills, illustrating the remote character of northwestern Colorado before modern expansion.
