1945 Map of Fort Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Fort Hill rises as a prominent landmark in this high-country landscape where the intricate drainages of La Barge Creek and Fontenelle Creek converge. The 1945 survey documents a region defined by ranching life and early water management, featuring historic properties like Herschler Ranch, Facenelli Ranch, and Jamison Ranch. The terrain is marked by significant geological formations such as Fontenelle Gap and the massive profile of Miller Mountain. This era of development is visible through the engineering of the La Barge Canal and several irrigation ditches that follow the contours of the creek valleys. The network of seasonal watercourses, including Sheep Creek and Little Coal Cr, illustrates the importance of water access for livestock in this corner of Lincoln County.
