1955 Map of Lake John

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The high alpine plains of Jackson County are defined by a complex irrigation network in this mid-century survey. Ranching operations like Brands Ranch and Wattenberg Ranch anchor the landscape, supported by a sophisticated system of water rights including the Bighorn Cattle Company Ditch, Legal Tender Ditch, and Independent Ditch. These man-made channels divert water across the basin to sustain livestock in the shadows of Sheep Mountain.
