2021 Map of Walck Ranch

About this map

Walck Ranch serves as a central landmark in this high-plains landscape of Carbon County, Wyoming, where the management of water defines the patterns of settlement. This 2021 survey illustrates a complex network of man-made irrigation infrastructure, including the Donald-Mcphail-Ditch, Marion Ditch, and Haines Ditch, which redirect water from sources like Jack Cr and N Spring Cr across the arid terrain. The map's topography is further articulated by several distinct drainages, such as Blydenburg Draw, Coyote Draw, and McPhail Draw, which lead toward the Seaveron Reservoir. These features, along with names like Trapp Ditch Number 2, provide clear evidence of the long-standing ranching and agricultural operations that rely on seasonal flows and carefully engineered water rights in the region.
