1951 Map of Illipah

About this map

Illipah (Moorman Ranch) serves as a central landmark in this high-elevation landscape, where the Lincoln Highway winds through the terrain. To the southwest, the Hamilton (Historic Ruins) indicate the legacy of early silver mining in the Mokomoke Mountains, a stark contrast to the scattered ranching interests of the mid-20th century. The water geography is defined by numerous isolated springs and ponds, such as Robbers Roost Spring, Sammy Springs, and Jakes Pond, which supported livestock and travel in an otherwise arid environment.
