2010 Map of Savery

About this map

Savery sits at the heart of this landscape, positioned north of the meandering Little Snake River near the Wyoming-Colorado border. This 2010 survey illustrates a valley defined by small-scale coal mining and agricultural irrigation, with the First Mesa Ditch tracing the contours of the land. A significant cluster of mining operations, including the Angier Mine, Pioneer Mine, and Company Bank Mine, are situated north of the settlement, concentrated along the drainages of Savery Creek and Coal Bank Draw. Family and community history is preserved at the Reader Cemetery and Baker Cemetery, while the Dixon Airport occupies the flat expanse of Dolan Mesa. The map captures a high-desert environment where water is the primary organizer of human activity, from the naming of Putt Creek and Cottonwood Creek to the roads like Savery South Rd that follow the river's path.
