1923 Map of Elkhead Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Yampa River corridor in northwest Colorado defined a landscape of remote mountain ranching and early coal extraction at the time of this 1923 survey. Small, localized settlements such as Elkhead and Mesa Rica served as focal points for a rural population supported by an extensive network of country schools, including Upper Elkhead School, Dry Fork School, and Cottonwood School. This dense distribution of one-room schoolhouses implies a distributed ranching community where travel was dictated by the winding gulches and creek beds.
