1915 Map of Monument Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

The Yampa River and Williams Fork dominate this 1912 survey of Northwest Colorado, where early ranching and coal mining operations defined the landscape. The confluence near Hamilton serves as a focal point, situated at the base of the Williams Fork Mountains. Settlement is sparse and focused on family holdings such as Iles Ranch, Durham Ranch, and Hart Ranch, reflecting the homesteading era of Moffat County. Transport through this high country relied on primary routes like the Craig and Meeker Road and the Pagoda and Deal Road. Evidence of early industrial activity appears at the Hart Mine, Hamilton Mine, and Walker Mine, while the presence of the Morapos School near the southern margin indicates the establishment of local community life amidst the ridges of Iles Mountain and the prominent Monument Butte.
