1956 Map of Rand

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Ranching and water management define this high-altitude landscape where the Illinois River flows through North Park. The small settlement of Rand serves as a central hub, accompanied by the Rand Sch and Rand Cem. The map reveals an intricate network of irrigation canals essential for local agriculture, including the Peabody Ditch, Sutton Ditch, and Garland Ditch. Several family-held properties such as the Stephens Brothers Ranch, Fuqua Ranch, and Howard Place are scattered across the valley floor. To the south and west, the terrain rises into the timbered slopes of the Routt National Forest and the prominent Green Ridge. A curious piece of local social history is found at the Racetrack (Aband) near the Old Homestead, suggesting a former gathering place for the community during earlier decades of the twentieth century.
