1981 Map of Dewey Ranch SE

About this map

Beaver Creek flows across the northern landscape of this High Plains region, carving a distinct valley through the townships of Mirage and Rotate. This early 1980s survey captures a rural landscape dominated by large-scale agricultural divisions and essential water resources, evidenced by the numerous wells scattered across the prairie. The topography is defined by the drainage systems of the North Fork Sappa Creek and Middle Fork Sappa Creek, which transition into the flatter reaches of Barrett. Small-scale industrial activity is limited to a single Gravel Pit near the northern boundary, while the border between Rawlins and Thomas County marks the primary political division. The map serves as a detailed record of water management and land usage in a period when small farm infrastructure remained critical to the regional economy.
