1956 Map of Johnny Moore Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Johnny Moore Mountain and Elk Mountain anchor a high-altitude landscape defined by complex water management and high-country ranching. The 1950s terrain is heavily marked by an intricate network of irrigation channels, including the Medicine Bow Ditch, Kenney Ditch, and Kelly Highline Ditch, which divert water from the Canadian River and its tributaries across the valley floors. This system of ditches supports several established family operations such as Dodge Ranch, Colter Ranch, and Rogerson Ranch. Along the eastern margin, the Routt National Forest and Roosevelt National Forest meet at the Larimer-Jackson county line, where the high peaks of the Medicine Bow Mountains rise above Brown Park. Small-scale aviation and resource extraction are evidenced by a private Landing Field and the Marr Mine Draw, showing the region's diverse mid-century land use.
