1992 Map of Finley Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1996

About this map

Finley Ranch and the nearby Finley Reservoir occupy the central high country of this Wyoming landscape, where livestock operations rely on a network of high-altitude drainages and man-made irrigation. The terrain is defined by ranching life, evidenced by named homesteads like the Taylor Ranch, Chistain Ranch, and Blem Ranch. Water management is critical in this environment, shown through the extensive system of ditches including the Want Highland Ditch, Pacific Ditch, and Encampment River Ditch. Along the southern edge, the North Platte River winds near the Lazy River Ranch, marking a significant elevation drop from the higher Buck Ridge to the north. The eastern boundary touches the edge of the Medicine Bow National Forest, where the topography becomes increasingly complex around Cumberland Gulch. Local landmarks such as Fourmile Hill and the Horn and Meason Reservoir highlight the varied uses of the land during the late twentieth century.
