Kthom, that panhandle came up over the top of that distant bluff about half a mile. That's Como Bluff a famous dinosaur fossil site. The Transcontinental ran right along the face of that bluff too. That bluff is about 20 miles away.
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid blew up a train about 3 miles to the left of this picture.
Still ain't many suburbs in that area today.
