1979 Map of Bledsoe Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Bledsoe Ranch anchors this high plains landscape at the intersection of Lincoln, Kit Carson, and Cheyenne counties. Mapped in the mid-1970s, the terrain is defined by an intricate network of ephemeral drainages, including Folger Gulch, Adobe Gulch, and Alaya Gulch, which carve through the plateau toward Wild Horse Creek and Sand Creek. The settlement of Overland sits centrally, positioned amidst a sparse scattering of infrastructure like the local Radio Tower and a Gravel Pit. The map captures the vital role of water management in this arid environment, evidenced by numerous Tank sites and a Well providing life to the surrounding rangeland. This survey offers a clear look at the large-scale ranching operations and remote road networks connecting to distant towns like Arriba and Wild Horse.
