2013 Map of Meeker

About this map

The White River valley anchors this 2013 survey of the area around Meeker, Rio Blanco County, where the town's street grid reflects its role as a regional hub. To the west, the label for the Meeker Massacre site marks a significant location in the conflict between the White River Ute people and early settlers. The complex irrigation network of the valley is highly visible, featuring the Niblock Ditch, Meeker Ditch, and Highland Ditch, which redirect water to the agricultural lands of Powell Park and Agency Park. The terrain is defined by the striking ridge of the Grand Hogback in the south and numerous drainages like Strawberry Cr and Sulphur Cr that cut through the surrounding uplands. Local history is further preserved at Highland Cem and the Strawberry Cem, while the Meeker Airport north of the river indicates modern infrastructure serving this mountain valley community.
