1968 Map of Rogers Creek

About this map

Mine Hills anchor the northern landscape of this Albany County survey, where the topography is defined by complex drainage systems and early extractive efforts. The area is characterized by several intermittent watercourses, including Sheep Creek and Mule Creek, which flow through the undulating terrain. A high concentration of Springs and isolated Spring points are located throughout the northeastern and central sections, suggesting a reliance on natural water sources for the local cattle industry. Evidence of geological exploration is scattered across the landscape in the form of several Prospects, a Prospect, and a Well, reflecting the region's mineral interests. The Atkinson Ranch is the primary named settlement, serving as a focal point of human activity in this otherwise open ranching environment. Detailed notations, including fine dashed lines indicating selected fence lines, provide insight into the land management and property divisions of the late 1960s.
