1932 Map of Savery

About this map

The Medicine Bow National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape along the Wyoming-Colorado border, where the Continental Divide Trail snakes through a series of prominent peaks and ridgelines. Early twentieth-century coal mining operations are evident near the settlement of Savery, including the Beeler Coal Co and Pioneer Coal Co situated along the banks of the Little Snake River. The survey documents a scattered network of rural education, identifying the Ketchum Sch, Browns Hill Sch, and Baker Peak Sch as centers for the ranching and mining families of the era.
