1961 Map of Indian Rocks

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Indian Rocks rises as a prominent landmark in this high-altitude landscape where the headwaters of the Missouri River Basin originate. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of irrigation ditches, including the Cherokee Ditch, Trapp Ditch, and Newport Ditch, signaling the vital role of water management for the high-country ranching operations scattered across the quadrangle. Settlements are defined by private holdings such as Bartlett Ranch and Walliser Ranch, alongside the V Swanson Ranch and C Swanson Ranch. To the south and west, the map transitions into the protected timberlands of the Medicine Bow National Forest, where drainages like Chippewa Creek and Beaver Creek flow through deeper canyons. The presence of Dunkard Road and various unnamed trails suggests the early transit routes used by ranchers and foresters alike.
