1955 Map of Elk Mountain SW

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

High-altitude ranching and the complex management of Wyoming’s high-country water define this mid-century look at Carbon County. The landscape is marked by the presence of several established family properties, including Cheesbrough Ranch, Ollikalla Ranch, and Palm Ranch, which supported the livestock economy of the Pass Creek Basin. An intricate network of irrigation systems like the Highland Ditch and Haglund Ditch lace the terrain, demonstrating the vital engineering required to move water from the Medicine Bow River and its tributaries to these remote homesteads.
