1961 Map of Jack Creek Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Jack Creek Reservoir serves as a focal point for water management in this high-altitude Wyoming basin, surveyed in the early 1960s. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage draws and small creeks, including Little Jack Creek, Beaver Creek, and Cottonwood Draw. Evidence of the region's ranching heritage is visible through named homesteads like the Boden Ranch and the Lazy CJ Jack Creek Ranch, which relied on the complex irrigation systems provided by the Jack Creek Ditch and Seaverson Ditch. These man-made improvements to the arid terrain show the effort required to support livestock in Carbon County. The map also documents smaller vital water sources such as Coyote Spring and Buck Draw Reservoir, illustrating how every available creek and draw was utilized for the local agricultural economy.
