1953 Map of Sweetwater Station

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Sweetwater River meanders through this high desert terrain, serving as the central artery for a collection of family-owned ranching operations in the mid-1950s. The settlement at Sweetwater Station anchors the map, surrounded by named holdings like Countryman Ranch, Flagg Ranch, and Jamerman Ranch. This era of land use is defined by an intricate network of irrigation channels, including the Independent Ditch and the Graham and Farmsley Ditch, which redirect water from the river and its tributaries like Crooked Creek to sustain the local livestock economy.
