1899 Map of Rico
USGS Topo · Published 1905About this map
Rico serves as the focal point for this late nineteenth-century surveying effort, nestled in a high-elevation landscape where the Rio Grande Southern railroad follows the winding path of the Dolores River. The map captures a moment of frontier transition, showing the infrastructure required to support the local mining and ranching economy. Individual homesteads and ranching operations like Rogers Ranch and Robinsons Ranch are situated along the river valleys and creek beds, while the surrounding terrain is dominated by prominent summits including Expectation Mtn., Sockrider Peak, and Calico Peak.
