Howdy Mike , here are few leads from Thomas Perry's Treasure Atlas for Colorado.
#1 Ghost town,Sewall,near state line in the extreme SW corner of Rio Blanco Cty & on the RR.
#2 " ",McAndrews,2 miles SE of Sewall
#3 " ",Angora,on N county line,8 miles SE Massadona
#4 " ",White River,20 miles W Meeker ,on the White River.
#5 " ",Sulpher,on Black Sulpher Creek,27 miles SE Rangely
#6 " ",Piceance,20 miles NW Rio Blanco
#7 " ",Thornburg,on N county line,8 miles SE Axil.
#8 " ",Pyramid,on N county line,15 miles W Phippsburg.

#9 , Ute Indians raided the Indian agency in 1879 at White River,killing N.C.Meeker and 9 of his employees. It is said that Meeker had U.S. goverment funds buried somewhere near the agency that never was recovered after the attack.

#10 , Site , Today's town of Meeker disguises an old Army camp which operated here from 1880 - 1883 to keep the peace after the Ute War. 1,500 troops were stationed here ,where,today,the courthouse stands on the old parade ground and chinked logs mark the site of 3 former officer quarters.

Have Fun !!!! Good Luck !!!!! HH
