1955 Map of Savage Ranch

About this map

The North Platte River winds through this Carbon County landscape, carving a deep path through the Savage Hills and creating dramatic river features like Oxbow Bend. This 1955 field-checked survey reveals a sparsely populated ranching territory where local landmarks such as Savage Ranch and the curiously named The Old Bob Place serve as primary points of human settlement. The northern edge of the map is defined by the Lincoln Highway, tracing the historic transcontinental route alongside a Telephone Line.
