1952 Map of Yankee Gulch

About this map

Reigle Ranch and Duckett Ranch stand as the primary centers of human activity in this drainage-carved landscape of the Piceance Basin. Surveyed shortly after World War II, the map reveals a rugged ranching economy defined by intermittent water sources and a network of deep gulches, including Yankee Gulch and Ryan Gulch. The presence of the Shale Test Well near the southern boundary points to early industrial interest in the region's energy resources, predating modern large-scale extraction.
