1958 Map of Maybell

About this map

The Yampa River and Little Snake River converge in this high-desert landscape of Northwest Colorado, where the water economy is defined by landmarks like the Lay Ditch and a riverside Pumping Sta. The small settlement of Maybell serves as the primary hub, situated near the sweeping Boston Flat and the meandering riverbanks. This era captures the area's transition into mid-century resource management, evidenced by the prominent Pipeline cutting across the terrain and a Strip Mine located in the southeastern quadrant.
