1953 Map of Tamarack Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The South Platte River corridor dominates this northeastern Colorado landscape, showing the vital relationship between the waterway and the local ranching economy. This survey, updated with 1980s data, highlights the extensive irrigation infrastructure necessary for the region, including the Settlers Ditch and Tamarack Ditch. The Union Pacific railroad cuts a straight line through the valley, paralleling the river and providing a critical transportation link for the ranching outposts found here. Named homesteads and operational hubs like Tamarack Ranch, Barden Ranch, and Yost Ranch are scattered across the terrain, reflecting the sparse but structured settlement pattern of Logan County. Much of the riverfront is managed as the Tamarack Ranch State Wildlife Area, where the intersection of natural riparian habitat and agricultural history is preserved.
