1918 Map of Como Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

Medicine Bow serves as the primary hub of this high-plains landscape, where the Union Pacific railroad tracks bisect the terrain. The settlement’s importance as a transportation center is underscored by the convergence of several primary regional routes, including the Hanna Road and Difficulty Road. Outside of town, the environment is defined by a series of prominent geological formations like Como Ridge and Saddleback Ridge, with the Medicine Bow River and Little Medicine Bow River carving courses through the basins. Evidence of early rural community life is found at the Ambler School and Kansas School, which served the scattered homesteads of the Greasewood Flats. Near Aurora Lake, the map labels Robbers Roost, a site whose name evokes the frontier history and folklore of Carbon and Albany counties during the early twentieth century.
