About this map

The White River winds through this high-desert landscape, creating a central corridor through the complex topography of Rio Blanco County. The map captures an area defined by its energy history and drainage patterns, specifically within the Rangely Oil Field and the surrounding Coal Oil Basin. Evidence of industrial presence is visible through the location of worker outposts such as California Camp and Texas Camp in the northern portion of the quadrangle.

South of the river, the land rises toward the landmark Banty Point and opens into the high basin of Shavetail Park. This 2013 survey illustrates the intersection of natural drainage features like Big Trujillo Wash and Shavetail Wash with the established energy infrastructure of the region. The prominent Raven Ridge serves as a geographic backbone, dividing the western draws from the deeply carved Coal Gulch and Hardaway Draw to the east.
