1910 Map of Grand Hogback

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

The Grand Hogback is the defining geological structure of this 1906 survey area, cutting a sharp line across the Colorado landscape between the Roan Plateau and the river valleys below. At the southern edge, the Colorado River and the Denver and Rio Grande railroad corridor facilitate movement through the high desert, connecting settlements like Newcastle and Antlers. The map captures an era of early ranching and mineral exploration before major modern developments, where isolated landmarks like Dinner Sta served as essential stopovers for travelers navigating the northern reaches of the Piceance Creek drainage. Further north, the landscape transitions into the White River valley near Log Hill, showing a region defined by its hydrology, including the various forks of Government Creek and the thermal mystery of Burning Mtn.
