1963 Map of Maxon Ranch

About this map

Miller Mountain dominates this high-desert portion of Sweetwater County, where the topography of the 1960s reveals a sparse ranching landscape defined by intermittent water sources and high-elevation plateaus. Isolated homesteads like Maxon Ranch and Ramsay Ranch are situated near vital drainage systems such as Sage Creek and Trout Creek. These settlements represent the mid-century livestock economy of the region, reliant on developed water points like Willow Tree Springs and Camp Creek Springs.
