1962 Map of McDonald Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Colorado and Southern railroad cuts across this high plains landscape at the border of Platte and Laramie counties, following the winding course of the Creek through the southeastern Wyoming ranchlands. The area is defined by the cattle-raising heritage of the mid-20th century, anchored by family-named holdings such as McDonald Ranch, Diamond Ranch, and the Wedemeyer Ranch. Small rural infrastructure is evident at McDonald Sch, a local landmark for the surrounding ranching families. The terrain is a network of drainage systems including North Chugwater Creek, Richeau Creek, and various seasonal draws like Steer Draw and Duval Draw. Numerous springs, such as Richeau Spring, indicate the vital water sources required to sustain livestock in this environment, while the tiny settlement of Parson sits in the northern reaches of the quadrangle.
