1966 Map of Jawbone Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Jawbone Ranch serves as a lonely landmark in this high-plains landscape of Sweetwater County, situated near the Riner Cutoff Road. The topography is dominated by the broad, elevated plateau of Windy Hill, which sits between the seasonal drainages of Buck Draw to the north and Creston Draw to the south. This 1960s-era survey, updated in the early 1980s, reveals a landscape defined by industrial and agricultural utility, marked by a traversing Pipeline and isolated features like a Corral and Well. The inclusion of a small Landing Strip near the center of the sheet highlights the immense distances and remote character of this part of Wyoming, where air travel and specialized roads were essential for managing ranching and utility operations across the high desert terrain.
