1959 Map of Chalk Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Little Medicine Bow River and its northern tributary, the South Fork Little Medicine Bow River, define this high-plains landscape along the border of Carbon and Albany counties. The region shows a sparse ranching economy during the mid-century, anchored by the Heward Ranch in the northwest and the Higginson Homestead to the south. The presence of a small Landing Field near the river suggests the importance of air travel for remote ranching operations in this open terrain.
