1951 Map of Split Rock

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Sweetwater River flows through this high desert region of central Wyoming, where the landscape is defined by massive granite outcrops and a network of early cattle ranches. Named landmarks like the Great Stone Face, Split Rock, and Castle Rock tower over the river valley, serving as historic navigational points. This survey, based on 1951 field work with 1980s updates, captures a ranching economy dependent on irrigation systems like the Mc McIntosh Ditch and the Beaton Ditch. Local history is anchored by several established family holdings, including the McIntosh Ranch, Hat Ranch, and Grieves Ranch. The community centered around the Split Rock School, while signs of change appear in the Grieves Homestead (Aband) and Speyers Reservoir (Aband), reflecting the shifting settlement patterns in the shadow of Telephone Line Ridge.
