1955 Map of Pine Tree Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Pine Tree Ridge stands as the dominant landform in this high-plains landscape of Albany County, where the hydrology is defined by a network of alkaline basins and ephemeral drainages. The central portion of the sheet is characterized by the S O D A L A K E S, including the prominent Soda Lake, which likely reflects the mineral-rich geology of the region. This saline environment is contrasted by the flow of Rock Creek and Sevenmile Creek to the south, providing a rare source of surface water in an otherwise arid expanse. Industrial activity is evident through the presence of a Bentonite Mine (Inactive) and a Gravel Pit, signaling the area's history of mineral extraction. For the genealogist or local historian, the map preserves the location of a lone Cem and the path of an Old Railroad Grade, marking the physical remains of early transportation and settlement patterns that once crossed this territory.
