About this map

Book Plateau and the deeply incised drainage of Clear Creek dominate this 1920s survey of the Garfield and Rio Blanco county line. The landscape is defined by its isolation, dotted with family-named outposts and seasonal shelters such as Brookners Cabin, Denton Cabin, and Scouts Cabin. The presence of the Good Hope Shale Camp in the western reaches suggests the early industrial interest in the region's oil shale reserves, while the remote Highmore PO and nearby Carr Creek School served as the primary social anchors for the scattered ranching and mining population.
