About this map

Rangely Oil Field dominates the high desert terrain of this northwest Colorado region, where industrial activity and resource extraction define the landscape's modern character. Numerous production camps such as California Camp, Texas Camp, and Wasatch Camp are scattered across the basins, reflecting the localized workforce hubs essential to the oil and gas industry in Rio Blanco County. The town of Rangely serves as the regional center, situated along the White River and supporting the Colorado Northwestern Community Coll campus and the Rangely Airport.

Drainage systems like Stinking Water Creek and Douglas Creek carve through the plateau, leading to prominent features such as the Coal Oil Basin and the Coal Oil Rim. The complex network of county roads, including Co-64 and Co-139, connects the various draws and canyons, such as Dead Dog Draw and Red Hill Canyon, which underscore the isolation and unique nomenclature of this high-altitude energy corridor.
