1964 Map of Razorback Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Brush Mountain and Skinner Ridge dominate this mid-century western Colorado landscape, marking a topographically complex area along the Rio Blanco Co Garfield Co boundary. The 1963 aerial photography captured a rugged wilderness defined by its dendritic drainage systems, including Cathedral Creek, Brush Creek, and Carr Creek. Human presence is sparse, limited to a single Jeep Trail and the isolated Atencio Cabin, suggesting a region primarily utilized for ranching, resource exploration, or seasonal transit. Notable landforms such as Razorback Ridge and the unusually named The Lake—located on a high ridge rather than a valley floor—highlight the unique geological character of this high-elevation terrain. A solitary Drill Hole in the northeast quadrant points to the era's subterranean exploration, while the network of named forks like the Middle Fork and Right Fork provide a precise record of the watershed's intricate geography.
