1953 Map of Tamarack Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The South Platte River corridor dominates this high plains landscape, defined by a complex network of irrigation infrastructure and conservation lands in the mid-20th century. Numerous waterworks including the Sprague Brothers Ditch, Long Island Ditch, and Union Pacific Ditch illustrate the era's intensive water management essential for agriculture. The northern portion of the map is largely dedicated to the Colorado Game and Fish Reserve, which straddles the river and the Union Pacific railroad line. Away from the river valley, the terrain transitions into undulating prairie marked by isolated landmarks like Tamarack Ranch, Yost Ranch, and Barden Ranch. These family-named ranch sites, alongside numerous scattered Windmills, reveal the sparse but organized settlement pattern of Logan and Sedgwick counties during this period.
