2019 Map of Banty Point

About this map

White River flows through the heart of this Rio Blanco County landscape, carving a valley between the prominent elevations of Raven Ridge to the north and the plateau featuring Banty Point to the south. This 2019 survey documents a terrain defined by drainage patterns and resource names, where Coal Gulch and Hardaway Draw feed toward the river valley. The map details the local infrastructure of the modern era, specifically highlighting the pathways of Co RD 102 and Co RD 2 as they navigate the breaks along the water. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, Shavetail Park and the winding Shavetail Wash indicate a more secluded upland character. The presence of Coal Oil Basin in the northeast corner serves as a literal naming of the region's geological and industrial associations, providing a clear record of how this portion of Western Colorado is organized by its physical landmarks and transportation corridors.
