2010 Map of Maybell

About this map

Maybell serves as the central hub of this high-desert landscape in northwestern Colorado, situated where County Rd 19 meets the northern banks of the Yampa River. The area’s industrial character is defined by widespread mineral extraction, with sites like the Maybell Pit and the Hudson Claim Group Mine indicating the historical and ongoing importance of the mining sector. Further exploration of the surrounding draws and hills reveals localized operations such as the Lucky Claim and Trevenen Claims. The management of water in this arid environment is clearly mapped through the winding course of the Maybell Ditch and natural sources like Barber Spring. Landform landmarks including Hat Hill and Eagle Rock overlook the broad basin of Eagle Park, while the Fairview Cemetery north of the main settlement offers a grounded point of reference for genealogists and local historians tracing the families who settled this part of Moffat County.
