1949 Map of Sundquist Ranch

About this map

The high ranching country of Converse County is documented in this survey, showcasing the isolated operations and water management necessary for life on the Sundquist Flats. Centered on the Sundquist Ranch, the landscape is defined by the drainage systems of Lightning Creek to the north and Fetterman Creek to the south. Evidence of the region’s economic transition is visible through the oil interests and an underground Pipe Line that cuts across the southern sections, marking a shift from pure livestock ranching to energy extraction.
