Coal company town at the mouth of Price Canyon where the Denver & Rio Grande once threaded the Book Cliffs approaches. Remembered for the 1924 mine disaster and a short, hard company-town life before residents shifted to Helper and Price. Today the townsite name marks canyon industrial landscape and memorials rather than a standing Main Street—visit the historical place, not active mine property.
