1953 Map of Riddle Cut

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Stone Ranch stands as a lonely marker of human activity in this high-desert landscape, located near the headwaters of Stone Creek. The terrain is defined by the elevation of Table Mountain to the north and the Haystack Mountains to the south, with a geography characterized by undulating Sand Dunes and sparse water sources. The map captures a moment in the mid-20th century before late-century revisions, showing a landscape primarily utilized for transit and ranching. The namesake Riddle Cut and the nearby Riddle Spring suggest a passage through the high country, while multiple pipelines cross the quadrangle, indicating the region's role in energy infrastructure. These industrial lines contrast with the scattered springs that once dictated the movement of livestock and settlers in this part of Carbon County.
