1966 Map of Rattlesnake Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Agency Park dominates the southern landscape of this Rio Blanco County region, where the White River flows through a broad valley defined by an intricate network of irrigation systems. The reliance on water management for agriculture is evident through features like the Coal Creek Mesa Ditch, Highland Ditch, and Oak Ridge Park Ditch, which redirect flow from tributaries to the higher benches. North of the river, the terrain rises sharply toward the namesake Rattlesnake Mesa and the geological prominent of Meeker Dome. This 1966 survey documents the industrial footprint of the era, including the Rienau Mine and multiple Gravel Pits, alongside water infrastructure such as the Mc Hatton Reservoir and various gaging stations. The map reflects a landscape of rugged canyons and draws, including Dickersville Creek and Aichers Draw, shaped by both natural drainage and human engineering.
