1929 Map of Roan Creek

About this map

Book Plateau and the surrounding high ridges define this landscape as it appeared during the late 1920s, a period when the oil shale industry was beginning to mark the Colorado wilderness. The presence of the Index Shale Plant near Clear Cr highlights the early industrial attempts to tap the region's energy resources. Below the massive Roan Cliffs, the settlement pattern follows the drainages, where isolated outposts like the Wilcoxson Ranch and Goslin Ranch provided a living in the canyons.
