1915 Map of Monument Butte

About this map

Williams Fork Mountains and the winding course of the Yampa River define this northwestern Colorado landscape just before the First World War. The region is characterized by a network of ranching outposts and early coal operations, reflecting the frontier economy of Moffat County. Key family holdings like Hamilton Ranch and Iles Ranch are established along the watercourses, while the Morapos School serves the rural population near Morapos Creek. The map documents early industrial activity at the Hart Mine and Walker Mine, situated among numerous gulches and prominent elevations like Iles Mountain and Monument Butte. Transportation in this era relied on the Meeker and Craig Road and the Pagoda Road, which provided vital links between the isolated settlements and the river valley at Big Bottom.
