1956 Map of Elkhorn

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Elkhorn Ranch and the Elkhorn Community House serve as the primary human touchpoints in this 1950s landscape of high-elevation basins and steep ridges. The terrain is defined by dramatic geological features like Mexican Ridge and Link Spring Ridge, which overlook the broad expanse known as The Basin. Water is the critical resource here, evidenced by numerous named sources such as Association Spring, Garcia Spring, and Lone Tree Spring. An Aqueduct cuts across the northwest, signaling the management of water in this semi-arid environment. Local travel and ranch access are facilitated by the Elkhorn Road and Ruby Road, which navigate around prominent elevations like Logan Hill. The intricate drainage system is mapped through features like Sevenmile Gulch and Early Gulch, which reveal the natural erosion patterns shaping the Park County territory.
