1924 Map of Mount Harris

About this map

The Yampa River and Bear River corridor defines this portion of Routt County, where the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad tracks follow the river's winding path through the northern landscape. In 1924, coal mining and ranching infrastructure shaped the local geography, anchoring small communities like Mount Harris, Milner, and Coal View. The distribution of rural education is particularly evident here, with a network of local institutions including Pleasant View School, Windy Point School, and Foidel School serving families scattered across the high country.
