The nearest place is Theisens, Schomers is just above the railroad S, the Bill Johannbroer ranch in the center and the former John Ambos ranch to the right." McCoy Memoirs p. 216 "Conger Mesa was to stand deserted until about 1903, then a group of people mostly of German descent, who had been living in Golden, Colorado, moved in. They had strong desires to own land of their own and they had heard of the wonderful possibilities on Conger Mesa in Routt County. They had heard the tale of the rich land from Dave Bailey, a McCoy rancher." John Ambos in: McCoy Memoirs p. 216 [Title supplied from catalog prepared by the Eagle County Historical Society.], Dupe 1992.004B.002
