1952 Map of No Name Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Piceance Creek cuts a vital path through this high-desert canyon country in Rio Blanco County, anchoring a series of family homesteads including Gubbins Ranch, Robinson Ranch, and Jones Ranch. This 1952 field-checked survey reveals an landscape defined by the emerging energy economy, with several Shale Prospects and a Gas Well located near Charley Earl Gulch. The terrain is characterized by deep drainage systems like Fourteenmile Creek and Thirteenmile Creek, which have carved out a complex network of ridges including No Name Ridge and Fourteenmile Ridge. High points such as VABM Oakland 7722 and Bald Knob provide triangulation markers for the rugged topography. The presence of early transportation routes like the Oldland Trail suggests the historical movement of livestock and people between the gulches and the high plateau during the mid-century period.
