1953 Map of T E Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Shirley Mountains and Bald Mountain dominate this mid-century landscape in Carbon County, where high-altitude ranching and water management define the settlement pattern. Isolated family operations such as the Walsh Ranch, Watkins Ranch, and Campbell Ranch are situated along the drainages of Troublesome Creek and Mud Creek. A notable genealogical detail is the Maynard Homestead (Aband) near the headwaters of Cottonwood Creek, providing a record of early attempts at high-country settlement. Irrigation infrastructure, including the Nelson Ditch and Ditch networks, underscores the vital importance of water rights in this arid environment. To the south, the terrain descends toward the Medicine Bow River and the deeply eroded Medicine Bow Breaks, where a Gaging Sta monitors the river's flow. This survey reveals a landscape of enduring ranching traditions, where place names like Smith Park and T E Ranch denote the deep-seated presence of established cattle and sheep operations.
