About this map

High-country water management and ranching define this Albany County landscape during the early 1960s. The terrain is shaped by a complex network of irrigation features designed to move water through the arid basins, including the King Ditch, Old King Ditch, and a prominent Aqueduct crossing the northern sections. Central to the area are the Downey Lakes and Steamboat Lake, while the local economy is anchored by established family operations such as the Hunzicker Ranch, Spring Creek Ranch, and Goetz Ranch.
