About this map

Russell Camp and Hole Camp sit near the northern border of this 1960s survey, marking a landscape of remote ranching and natural landmarks along the Colorado and Wyoming state line. The terrain is defined by deep incisions like Haygood Canyon and Slab Canyon Wash, while prominent elevations like Sheep Mountain, Steamboat Rock, and the curious Red Nose provide clear navigational points across the high country. Water remains a central theme for those living on the land, evidenced by the many Spring and Springs labels and the presence of a Water Tank and Munroe Ranch in the south.

Industrial activity is scattered through the draws, including a Quarry near Table Mountain and a long Pipeline cutting across the central portion of the sheet. The drainage network of Boxelder Creek and Sand Creek shapes the local topography, creating the massive depression known as Big Hole. For researchers, this map details the complex property divisions marked by fine red dashed lines and the isolated camps that supported the region's agricultural and resource economy.
