1964 Map of Lonetree

About this map

Lonetree and its surrounding high-desert landscape are defined by a complex network of irrigation infrastructure designed to harness the waters of the Henrys Fork. By the early 1960s, the area relied on an intricate system of man-made waterways including the Luckey Ditch, Grimsley Ditch, and Stag Ditch, which directed flow through the arid Stag Hollow and Cedar Basin. The terrain is dominated by the massive Hickey Mountain to the northwest and the Bald Range to the southeast, with the Hickey Mountain Reservoir providing a critical high-elevation water cache. Genealogists will find the Lonetree Cem and local properties like the Smith Ranch documented here, while a notable Radio Tower and a Racetrack near the fork signal the intersection of traditional ranching and mid-century modern utility.
