About this map

Big Sandy Creek meanders through the northern plains of the High Plains, defining the landscape of this 1970s survey. The tiny settlement of Aroya sits at the junction of the Union Pacific railroad and the drainage of Aroya Gulch, serving as a remote outpost in a region dominated by large-scale ranching operations. The spatial distribution of infrastructure, from the Landing Strip at Rush Creek Ranch to the J.O.D. Ranch further east, highlights the necessity of private aviation and specialized transport in this sparsely populated cattle country.
