1956 Map of Jack Creek Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Routt National Forest dominates this mid-century topographic study, defined by the high-elevation terrain of Owl Mountain and the headwaters of the Illinois River. The landscape reveals a complex network of early irrigation efforts, including the Garland Ditch, Flying Dutchman Ditch, and Jack Ditch, which redirect water across the drainage divides. These man-made features highlight the era's reliance on water rights to support remote homesteads like Roslyn Ranch and the Jack Creek Ranch.
