1963 Map of Carpenter Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The high plains of the Wyoming-Nebraska border define this mid-century survey, where the arid landscape is marked by the critical infrastructure of western ranching. Central to the area is the Carpenter Ranch and its nearby Carpenter Reservoir No 1, which manages water alongside the Interstate Canal and Lateral No 4. The reliance on groundwater is evident through a network of family-named landmarks like the Milligan Windmill, Wildy Windmill, and Furnal Windmill, which served as vital points for livestock in this high-elevation terrain. Settlement patterns are sparse, represented by locations such as James and the Duncan Place. Significant geographical features like Coyote Hill and the winding course of Sheep Creek provide the primary relief in a territory largely organized by the township and range system near the Goshen and Sioux County line.
