1950 Map of Amend Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Family-named ranches anchor this high-plains landscape as it appeared at mid-century, reflecting the enduring cattle and sheep operations of eastern Wyoming. The terrain is marked by the drainages of Lost Creek in the north and Muddy Creek to the south, with the Converse Co Niobrara Co boundary line bisecting the eastern portion of the survey. Remote outposts such as the Amend Ranch, York Ranch, and Moore Ranch are connected by a network of unimproved roads and dotted with numerous Windmills, essential for livestock survival in this semi-arid environment. Local history and genealogy are preserved at the Prairie View Cem near the eastern edge, while other family holdings like the Ray Reese Ranch and Reese Bros Ranch illustrate the settlement patterns of a region where the ranch was the center of community life.
