About this map

The Little Snake River meanders across the border of Wyoming and Colorado, defining the lower valley where the settlements of Savery and Slater were established. This 1961 field-checked survey reveals an agricultural and resource-driven landscape at the intersection of Carbon and Moffat Counties. Significant local history is preserved in the locations of the Baker Cem and Reader Cem, alongside early industry evidence such as the Pioneer Mine and various Gravel Pits.

Upland features like Dolan Mesa and the drainage systems of Savery Creek and Dutch Joe Creek dominate the northern terrain. The presence of a Landing Strip and Browns Hill Road suggests the logistical connectivity required for this remote mountain valley during the mid-century. This survey was conducted as part of the Department of the Interior program for the development of the Missouri River Basin.
