1952 Map of Square S Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Piceance Creek carves a deep valley through the center of this Rio Blanco County landscape, serving as the primary corridor for movement and settlement during the mid-20th century. Near the intersection of these narrow canyon floors, the Square S Ranch stands as a focal point of the local ranching economy, situated near several natural springs and the junction of Bear Gulch. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of draws and gulches, including Horse Draw and Hog Draw, which reveal the erosive patterns of the high plateau country. Evidence of earlier family settlement and the permanence of rural life is found at the Miller Hill Cem located near Miller Hill in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Other features like the Windmill and a tower at VABM 6794 Tower provide specific navigation points for those studying the historical land use of this isolated ranching district.
