1923 Map of Pilot Knob

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Denver and Salt Lake railroad winds through the southern edge of this Colorado high country, following the path of the Yampa River during the early twentieth century. This terrain, characterized by prominent elevations like Pilot Knob and Wolf Mountain, supported a scattered network of rural education and resource extraction. Evidence of early settlement and industry is found at the Ducey Mine and Franz Mine, which operated near the headwaters of the regional creeks. Educational outposts such as Deep Creek School and Wolf Creek School served the families living in the shadows of the Rim Rocks. To the north, the expanse of California Park within the Routt National Forest represents the era's balance between wild federal lands and the localized human footprint of sites like Gantts Cabin.
