1955 Map of Delaney Butte
USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
The North Fork North Platte River and its tributaries carve through this high Colorado ranching country, defined by an intricate network of irrigation systems essential to the local livestock economy. During the mid-1950s, the landscape was dotted with family-run operations including Briggs Ranch, Bohn Ranch, and Sorenson Ranch. The water management of the era is remarkably detailed, showing the Independent Ditch, Victor Ditch, and Bohn Ditch winding through the basin to support these remote outposts.
