1963 Map of Red Creek Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Red Creek Badlands and the expansive Red Creek Basin define this remote high-desert landscape at the intersection of the Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado borders. In the early 1960s, human activity in this corner of Sweetwater County was centered on isolated pastoral outposts like Red Creek Ranch and Meadow Gulch Ranch, connected by rugged tracks and a Jeep Trail. The terrain transitions from the dramatic erosional features of the badlands to the high elevations of Pine Mountain and the Tepee Mountains, where a solitary Radio Tower marks the summit. This survey documents a critical watershed for the region, tracing the path of Red Creek and its tributaries such as Little Red Creek and Alkali Creek, while noting essential water sources like Alkali Springs and numerous unnamed springs that supported the area's ranching operations.
