1962 Map of Rangely NE

About this map

The Rangely Oil Field dominates the southern landscape of this Rio Blanco County terrain, marking a period of intense resource extraction in Northwest Colorado. The intricate network of drainage systems, including Stinking Water Creek and Nate Spring Draw, defines a topography shaped by industrial necessity and water management. An extensive system of catchments such as Rock Shale Reservoir, Burning Mine Reservoir, and Dead Dog Reservoir illustrates the engineering required to sustain operations across the Coal Oil Basin. Along the northern reaches, the presence of various Mine and Mines labels, coupled with a prominent Pipeline, underscores the region's focus on mineral and energy wealth. The transition from the high elevations of Spooky Mountain and Blue Mountain down to the Coal Oil Rim highlights the geological stratification that made this area a focal point for mid-century energy development.
