About this map

Currant Creek Ranch sits at the northern end of a high-altitude landscape defined by steep ridges and complex drainages along the Wyoming and Utah border. This mid-1960s survey captures a transition from the Sugarloaf Basin in the west toward the formidable Richards Mountains in the south. The terrain is marked by seasonal water sources and family-named landmarks like Greenhough Place and Janes Meadow, suggesting a history of high-country grazing and ranching.

Transport is limited to primitive routes such as a Jeep Trail and the southern Canyon Road, which passes through Minnies Gap. Significant water management is evident at Sugarloaf Reservoir, while the natural topography creates distinct features like The Narrows along Trout Creek and the high point of Ramsey Peak. The map illustrates the hydrological complexity of the area, where numerous forks and marshes, including Jarvies Marsh Creek and Middle Marsh Creek, feed the larger basin system.
