1964 Map of Maneater Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Wagon Hound Creek carves a path through this high-country landscape in the mid-1960s, serving as a primary drainage for a network of remote ranches and family homesteads. The map illustrates a ranching economy dependent on water management, evidenced by features like the Nagle Ditch and Ditch No 3 that channel resources through the terrain. Human presence is sparse but well-defined by isolated landmarks such as the Wagon Hound Sch and family-named locations including the Raeber Ranch, Rogers Place, and Middleton Ranch. To the south, the terrain rises into the timbered slopes of the Medicine Bow National Forest, where the headwaters of Maneater Creek and Latham Creek emerge from the high ridges. This survey documents the specific placement of rural infrastructure, from the Upper Wagon Hound Road to the numerous springs and flowing wells that supported livestock and survival in this part of Converse County.
