1961 Map of Kennaday Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Kennaday Peak anchors this high-elevation landscape in the Medicine Bow National Forest, illustrating the complex water management required for ranching in Carbon County. The irrigation infrastructure is particularly prominent, with the Wiant Ditch, Highline Ditch, and the Ryan Foreman and Elk Hollow Ditch carving through the terrain to serve lower-lying areas. This 1961 field-checked survey shows a network of family-named ranching operations, including Kennaday Ranch and Corpening Ranch, established along the drainages of Cedar Creek and Troublesome Creek. The map documents a transition in land use, where rugged natural parks like Lime Kiln Park and Red Park meet the practical needs of early homesteaders at sites like Beeman Place and Sowders Place.
