1964 Map of Root Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Lacy Mountain and the high ridges of Converse County define this landscape, where early ranching and rural education shaped the local geography. The map documents a sparsely settled interior during the mid-1960s, punctuated by small community anchors like Willow Dell Sch and Grant Sch. A network of unpaved tracks, including Mormon Canyon Road and Wood Road, connects isolated outposts such as Virden Camp and the small settlement of Dewey. This terrain is deeply etched by a complex drainage system featuring Box Elder Creek winding through Box Elder Canyon and the seasonal flows of White Creek and Root Creek. For genealogists and local historians, the inclusion of specific sites like Grant Cem and a lonely Grave marker near Red Canyon provides precise evidence of early inhabitants and the harsh realities of life on the Wyoming range.
