1952 Map of No Name Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Piceance Creek carves a central valley through this high-desert landscape in Rio Blanco County, anchoring a series of small agricultural outposts in the early 1950s. The map illustrates a ranching economy dependent on the water of the creek and several Spring sources, with Gubline Ranch, Jones Ranch, and Robinson Ranch situated along the valley floor. A complex system of irrigation is evident, including a notable Ditch running parallel to the creek to support these isolated holdings. Beyond the irrigated bottoms, the terrain rises sharply into prominent features like No Name Ridge and Fourteenmile Ridge. Industrial footprints are beginning to appear in the backcountry, marked by several Shale Prospects and scattered Gas Well locations, signaling the early development of the region's energy resources. Access across the drainage-heavy terrain is provided by the Thirteenmile Road and various tracks like the Goat Trail Ridge.
