2010 Map of McCoy

About this map

The Colorado River carves through this high-altitude landscape in Eagle County, serving as the geographic anchor for the valley settlements of McCoy and Bond. This 2010 topographic record captures a ranching and mining region where industrial history is written into the terrain through features like the Copper King Mine, Copper Queen Mine, and the Rio Grande Mine. The irrigation network, including the Kayser Mutual Ditch and several reservoirs like McCoy Reservoir, illustrates the essential water management required for the Tipton Ranch and surrounding holdings. Settlement patterns are concentrated along the river and creek valleys, with the McCoy Cemetery and the rail-linked community of Copper Spur providing key landmarks for local genealogists. From the heights of Yarmony Mountain to the flats of Congor Mesa, the map details a landscape defined by its extractive economy and its proximity to the water of Rock Creek and Egeria Creek.
