1972 Map of Mc Coy

About this map

Colorado River frontage and the confluence of Rock Creek define this section of the Rocky Mountains near the Routt and Eagle County line. The small settlements of McCoy and Bond serve as the primary human hubs in a landscape dominated by livestock fencing and water management. Evidence of the area's volcanic history is visible in features like the Crater, Volcano, and the Triple Cinder Pit cinder mine. Local infrastructure is heavily geared toward irrigation, as seen in the winding paths of the Kayser Mutual Ditch and the Elevated Mutual Ditch. For those tracing local families, the McCoy Cem and various Prospects scattered across the high mesas provide specific points of historical interest, while the Landing Strips and railroad tunnels near Copper Spur highlight the mid-century transportation network through the canyon.
