1961 Map of Finley Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The North Platte River winds through the southwestern corner of this Carbon County landscape, where the high plains meet the western edge of the Medicine Bow National Forest. This 1961 survey illustrates a region defined by extensive water management for ranching, evidenced by the intricate network of irrigation channels including the Wiant Ditch, Elk Hollow Ditch, and the Enncampment Valley Ditch. Named ranching outposts such as Lazy River Ranch, Chastain Ranch, and Blom Ranch are established near the river and spring-fed creeks, highlighting the mid-century agricultural footprint in the shadow of Cedar Ridge.
