1953 Map of Fourmile Ridge

About this map

Fourmile Ridge and Dry Creek Rim anchor this high-desert landscape in Carbon County, where mid-century ranching and resource extraction left their marks. The Irene Ranch is a primary settlement point amidst a complex network of seasonal drainages including Wolf Canyon and Sand Draw. While the topography is defined by significant ridges, the presence of an extensive Ditch system and various waterholes like the Mc Fade Waterhole Draw underscores the critical importance of water management for livestock in this arid environment.
