The Rangely Oil Field dominates this 1960s landscape, illustrating a specialized petroleum-based settlement pattern in the high desert of the Coal Oil Basin. The town of Rangely serves as the central hub, supported by a network of industrial worker enclaves including Texas Camp, California Camp, Sharples Camp, and Levison Camp. These named company camps, interspersed with hundreds of individual oil wells and a complex pipeline system, reflect the intense post-war energy development of Rio Blanco County.
