About this map

Milner and the nearby settlement of McGregor anchor this portion of the Yampa Valley, where the landscape is defined by a dense concentration of energy extraction sites. The northern corridor follows the Yampa River and its associated drainage gulches, including Coal View Gulch and Butcherknife Gulch, which have long been centers of industrial activity. The presence of numerous named mines such as the Rustic Coal Mine, International Mine, and Meadows Number One Mine illustrates the intense development of the region's mineral resources.

Further south, the terrain opens into Twentymile Park, a high-country basin heavily utilized for large-scale operations like the Seneca Strip Mine and Twenty Mile Mine. The map reveals a complex infrastructure of county highways and specialized routes like Saddle Bow Ln, connecting remote extraction points like the Tow Creek Oil Field to the regional hubs. Water management is evident through features like the Fish Creek Dam, which supports the agricultural and industrial needs of this high-plains environment.
