2014 Map of Ruthton

About this map

Lake McConaughy and the braiding channels of the North Platte River dominate the southern portion of this landscape at the boundary of Keith and Garden Counties. This area is defined by a complex irrigation network, including the Graf Canal and Blue Cr Canal, which supports the agricultural base near Ruthton. The terrain is marked by significant historical landmarks like Windlass Hill and Ash Hollow, famous waypoints for early westward travel. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved across the landscape, notably Plum Creek Cem and the Ash Hollow Cem. To the north, the topography rises into sandhills near Clear Creek Springs, while deep ravines like Spring Canyon and Dankworth Canyon cut through the bluffs south of the river.
