1918 Map of Como Ridge

About this map

Medicine Bow sits at the intersection of the Union Pacific railroad and the Medicine Bow River, serving as a critical waypoint in this high-plains landscape. Surveyed in 1915, the map captures a network of early overland routes including the Marshall Road, Difficulty Road, and Hanna Road, which connected isolated ranches and settlements. To the east, the dramatic uplift of Como Ridge and the broad Greasewood Flats define the geology of the region. Local community life is evidenced by the presence of the Ambler School near Ambler Spring and the Kansas School to the south. Notable landmarks such as Robbers Roost and Ninemile Hill reflect the rugged frontier history of Carbon County, while water sources like Aurora Lake and Rock Creek provided essential resources for both the railroad and the local livestock industry.
