1964 Map of Protsmans Knob

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest occupies the southern reaches of this landscape, where the prominent summit of Protsmans Knob overlooks a complex network of seasonal drainages and springs. The area is defined by the high-country transition between wooded slopes and open ranching terrain, exemplified by Duck Creek Flats and the elevated terrain of Rocky Ridge. Sparse human footprints are recorded through isolated sites like Miller Cabin and the settlement at Virden, connected by the winding Canyon Road. The map documents a rugged hydrography of intermittent flows including Little Deer Creek and South Cart Creek, alongside reliable water sources such as Alphin Spring and Mesa Spring. This 1964 field survey captures the Converse County backcountry before modern road expansions, preserving the location of early cattle-country landmarks and the essential spring-fed basins that supported the region's livestock economy.
