1914 Map of Walcott

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

The North Platte River carves a winding path through this high-altitude landscape of Carbon County, anchoring a terrain defined by early ranching operations and strategic rail connections. In the years following the 1912 survey, several family-named landmarks such as Ferris Ranch, Carson Ranch, and Miller Ranch illustrate the localized settlement pattern along the riverbanks and mountain foothills. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the industrial and transport corridor of the Union Pacific railroad, which links the settlements of Fort Steele, Walcott, and Edson. The map captures an intricate system of irrigation, featuring the North Ditch, Middle Ditch, and St Marys ditch, revealing the human effort to manage water across the arid stretches near Alkali Flat. Topographical features like Mt Steele and Cedar Ridge rise sharply above the river valley, providing a clear view of the complex geography that challenged early surveyors Frank Tweedy and Frank L. Whaley.
