1952 Map of Rock School

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Rock School stands as a primary landmark in this drainage-dominated landscape of Rio Blanco County, situated where the waters of Piceance Creek meet the surrounding hills. This 1952 field-checked survey illustrates a region defined by its complex network of watercourses and dry washes, including the significant confluence of Black Sulphur Creek and the long reaches of Big Hunter Gulch. The terrain is deeply incised by numerous named features such as Eureka Creek, Fawn Creek, and the parallel paths of Jimmy Gulch and Big Jimmy Gulch. This map provides a detailed view of the remote canyon country before modern infrastructure altered the rural character of these high-plateau drainages. Local researchers can trace the old road networks that follow the natural contours of Little Dry Gulch and Enoch Gulch, offering a clear picture of the land's utility and settlement patterns during the mid-twentieth century.
