1915 Map of Como Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Medicine Bow serves as the primary hub of this 1915 landscape, positioned where the Union Pacific railroad cuts across the arid plains of Wyoming. This era of settlement is defined by isolated outposts and local landmarks, from the Ambler School and Ambler Spring to the intriguing site of Robbers Roost along Como Ridge. The terrain is shaped by the complex hydrology of the Medicine Bow River and the Little Medicine Bow River, which wind through a series of prominent formations including Slate Ridge and the expansive Greasewood Flats. These physical barriers dictated the early transportation network, which is marked here by historic corridors like Marshall Road and Difficulty Road. Farther east, near the Carbon Co Albany Co line, the map records rural educational sites such as Kansas School, documenting the spread of community infrastructure in a territory still very much defined by its geological character.
