1953 Map of Double L Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Richeau Hills define the topography of this Platte County landscape, where water rights and ranch boundaries shaped the local economy in the early 1950s. The drainage system of Richeau Creek and its many tributaries, including North Richeau Creek and Scotch Creek, provides a framework for the established homesteads of the era. These family-named properties, such as the Double L Ranch, Allison Ranch, and Grant Ranch, are connected by primitive roads and a network of water management features like the Walker Draw and a notable Aban Ditch. The map illustrates a transitional period of development in the Missouri River Basin, documenting the presence of a Pipe Line alongside traditional landmarks like VABM 5590 Hunton and Beacon No 8.
