2010 Map of Wolf Mountain

About this map

Industrial history and varied topography define this area of Routt County, where several extraction sites like the Black Cat Coal Mine and Dick Jones Mine are situated along the southern drainage. The landscape is marked by a complex network of waterways, including Wolf Creek and Deep Creek, which navigate between prominent elevations such as Wolf Mountain and Slippery Sides Mountain. The distribution of these mines near the intersections of County Rd 52 and County Rd 50 suggests a reliance on a well-established local road system for moving resources through the high-altitude terrain. Notable landmarks like Rattlesnake Butte and Sand Mountain serve as distinct geographic anchors in a region where smaller mines, such as the Franz Mine and Grey Mine, are found near the upper reaches of various gulches and creeks.
