1956 Map of Buffalo Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Routt National Forest dominates this high-altitude terrain in Jackson County, where the 1950s landscape is defined by the practicalities of ranching and water management. High summits like Buffalo Peak and Red Hill rise above a complex network of man-made irrigation systems, including the Buffalo Ditch, Cochrane Ditch, and Slack-Weiss Ditch. These waterways support remote outposts such as Buffalo Ranch, Shamrock Ranch, and the Aspen Knoll Cabin, illustrating the era's reliance on gravity-fed water for high-country grazing.
