2011 Map of Ramah

About this map

The Ashcroft-Merrill Historic District anchors this high-desert landscape, preserving the early twentieth-century heritage of the Ramah community. This settlement is defined by its Mormon pioneering history, evidenced by the Mormon Colony Cemetery and the local Ramah Cemetery. The physical geography is dominated by a sharp rise known as The Hogback, which separates the high plateau from the lowlands of Cebolla Creek and the man-made Ramah Reservoir. Land use patterns here reflect a mix of traditional ranching and modern transitions, with family operations like the Old Bond Ranch, Clo-Chew-Tah Ranch, and Dent Ranch scattered across the valley. Transportation is a network of forest and tribal routes, including Indian Service Route 137 and Forest Rd 157, supporting both the town and the Ramah Lake Airstrip.
