1898 Map of Rico
USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
Rico sits at the heart of this high-altitude landscape, appearing as a concentrated hub of mining and transit during a period of significant regional development. The Rio Grande Southern railroad snakes along the valley floor, connecting the town to remote outposts and emphasizing the era's reliance on rail for mineral transport and supplies. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of family-held properties and operations, including Roger's Ranch, Snyder's Ranch, and Robinson's Ranch, which dot the drainages of the West Dolores River and its tributaries.
