1952 Map of Horse Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Grand Hogback dominates the southern landscape of this mid-century Colorado survey, a geological ridge that separates the high plateau from the lower creek valleys. The drainage patterns of West Rifle Creek and Middle Rifle Creek define the local topography, converging in an area where resource extraction and education anchored the rural community. Evidence of the region's industrial interests is clear through the presence of the Naval Oil Shale Reserve and a Coal Mine located near the southern border.
