1955 Map of Delaney Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The high-country ranching culture of Jackson County is meticulously documented here, centered on the prominent Delaney Butte and its adjacent lakes. In the mid-1950s, the landscape was a complex network of hydraulic engineering, defined by an intricate system of hand-labeled irrigation works like the Independent Ditch, Hanson Ditch, and Lorena Ditch that sustained the valley's livestock operations. The map records several long-standing family operations, including the Briggs Ranch and Mallen Ranch, providing a window into the settlement patterns of this high mountain basin before modern consolidation.
