About this map

Cheesbrough Ranch and other family-named operations characterize this high-elevation landscape in the mid-1950s. The northern reaches of the Medicine Bow National Forest dominate the southern portion of the map, where the Bow Ranger Station stands near the East Fork Medicine Bow River. The irrigation network, essential for ranching in Carbon County, is meticulously mapped through features like the Haglund Ditch, Highland Ditch, and Tableland Ditch.
