2012 Map of Strouss Hill

About this map

Strouss Hill and the surrounding high plains of Albany County dominate this landscape, where the drainage patterns of several mountain creeks converge. The map reflects a ranching-centered economy, identifying established properties such as Manthos Ranch in the north and Basin Ranch to the east. These landholdings are defined by an intricate network of waterways, including the Straus Ditch Number 2, which suggests a history of water management for livestock and agriculture in an arid environment.
