1961 Map of Kennaday Peak

About this map

Kennaday Peak rises as the dominant landmark of this high-elevation landscape within the Medicine Bow National Forest. The 1961 field survey reveals a terrain defined by complex water management and high-country ranching, where early irrigation efforts are evidenced by the Hay Supply Ditch, Wiant Ditch, and the Ryan-Foreman and Elk Hollow Ditch. These man-made channels diverge from natural drainages like North Cedar Creek and South Cedar Creek to support the seasonal grazing operations at the Kennaday Ranch and Corpening Ranch.
