1956 Map of Rand

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Rand serves as the central hub of this mid-century livestock and irrigation landscape, situated where the Illinois River meets the foothills of the Routt National Forest. The map documents a specialized ranching economy defined by an extensive network of named irrigation canals, including the Salem Ditch, Peabody DITCH, and Welch Ditch, which redirect water from alpine streams like Mc Kinnon Creek to the valley floor. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific family landmarks, from established operations like the Stephens Brothers Ranch and Fuqua Ranch to the Old Homestead and the Rand Cemetery. The terrain transitions from the high peaks of Green Ridge down to the river bottoms, where small-scale infrastructure like a Gaging Station and the Rand School supported the local community's daily life during the mid-1950s.
