1963 Map of Red Creek Ranch

About this map

Red Creek Ranch sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape where the borders of Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado converge. Mapped in the early 1960s, the terrain is defined by the stark Red Creek Badlands and the expansive Red Creek Basin. Small-scale ranching and remote outposts like Meadow Gulch Ranch and Petes Place are connected by a network of unimproved roads and jeep trails, reflecting the isolated character of Sweetwater County during this era. High ridges such as Pine Mountain and the Tepee Mountains overlook a complex system of seasonal drainages, including Little Red Creek and Lizzie Creek. The presence of a lone Cem and family-named landmarks like Dodge Meadows provides a tangible link for genealogists tracing the early settlement patterns of this tri-state border region.
