1961 Map of Cow Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

North Platte River waters dominate this Carbon County landscape, winding through a complex network of irrigation systems and working ranchlands in the early 1960s. The presence of numerous named water projects, such as the Encampment and Pacific Ditch, Low Ditch, and Adams Ditch, underscores the area's agricultural dependency on the river's flow. Settlement is defined by established holdings like Ryan Ranch and the Flying Diamond Ranch, providing specific locations for genealogists tracing regional land use. To the west, the terrain rises sharply into the jagged formations of Canyon Rocks and Rainbow Canyon, culminating at Needle Peak. This survey also records isolated historical markers, including a lone Grave located east of Harrison Creek, offering a small but poignant detail for local historians.
