1910 Map of Rangely

About this map

White River flows through the southern heart of this territory, where the early settlement of Rangely sits amidst the vast terrain of Raven Park. Surveyed in 1907 by Hoyt S. Gale, John Allen Davis, and Charles W. Stoops, this reconnaissance map illustrates the land shortly after the turn of the century, capturing a region defined by its watercourses and prominent landforms. To the north, the Yampa River snakes across the landscape, while the Routt Co Rio Blanco Co Boundary Line bisects the rugged topography of the central section. Small outposts such as Angora, Boxelder, and Three Springs are documented alongside natural landmarks like Cathedral Bluffs and Raven Ridge. The detailed drainage patterns of Skull Creek, Red Wash, and Stinking Creek reflect the meticulous field work required for this USGS Bulletin 415 reprint.
