1953 Map of Buzzard Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Buzzard Ranch serves as the focal point of this high-altitude Wyoming landscape, where the seasonal drainage of Arkansas Creek and Sand Creek defines the local economy and movement. Surveyed for the Missouri River Basin development program, the map documents a network of ranching outposts including the Burtch Ranch and the Buzzard Ranch (Shearing Pens), indicating the region's reliance on sheep or livestock. To the south, the terrain rises sharply into the Ferris Mountains and Bear Mountain, creating the dramatic Sand Creek Canyon. A series of Ditch segments and Spring labels suggest the critical importance of water management on the Arkansas Flats. The presence of Roberts Ranch (Aband) provides a specific genealogical marker of late-19th or early-20th-century settlement shifts in Carbon County.
