1963 Map of Cattail Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Bear Creek and Horse Creek dominate this high plains landscape along the Goshen Co and Laramie Co line in the early 1960s. The map documents a classic Western ranching economy, where water management is central to the viability of the land, illustrated by the presence of the Durbin Ditch and numerous springs. Isolated family-named properties like the Griffin Homestead and Weaver Homestead point to the area's early settlement history, while the L Kirkbride Ranch and D Kirkbride Ranch show established operations during the mid-century period. Other distinct residential sites, labeled as the Wilkinson Place and Robinson Place, offer specific data points for genealogists tracing family footprints across these drainages, including the aptly named Cattail Creek and the southern Bullwacker Draw.
