1953 Map of Leo

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Pedro Mountains topography dominates this mid-century survey of Carbon County, where high-desert ranching life is anchored by family-named holdings. The settlement of Combs Ranch (Leo) serves as a primary reference point in a landscape defined by seasonal drainages and sharp peaks like Pyramid Peak and Heaths Peak. Land use in this era is evidenced by a network of water management features, including a Ditch and Flume system near Sage Creek, alongside an isolated Landing Strip that speaks to the distances required for regional travel. The drainage patterns of Indian Springs Creek and Gooseberry Creek carve through the high terrain, connecting the various ranching outposts such as Indian Grove Ranch, Irene Ranch, and Peters Ranch. The inclusion of landmarks like The Chimneys and Dome Rock provides essential orientation for navigating this cattle-and-sheep country before modern developments altered the rural road network.
