About this map

Book Plateau and the high ridges of Garfield County dominate this 1926 survey, which documents a landscape of scattered mountain outposts and early shale extraction. The settlement pattern is defined by isolated family-named cabins and ranches, such as Brookners Cabin, Loves Cabin, and Parks Ranch, indicating a life centered on high-altitude grazing or hunting. The presence of the Good Hope Shale Camp highlights the era's industrial interest in the region's energy resources.
