1959 Map of Fifty-Five Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Isolated cattle ranches and high plains drainage systems define this mid-century look at the Wyoming landscape. The Cheyenne River serves as the primary hydrological artery, fed by a complex network of seasonal flows including the North Fork and Middle Fork. Named family holdings such as the Old Bryan Ranch and the Fifty-five Ranch indicate the sparse, large-acreage settlement pattern of the era. Evidence of early rural infrastructure and industry is visible near the Badger Sch and the Badger Mine. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations like Blue Hill and Blizzard Heights, while the Eskew No 2 Res provides a rare point of managed water storage in this arid environment. Significant survey labels such as Road Divide and the Divide highlight the natural watershed boundaries separating the Cheyenne from the Bear Creek systems.
