1962 Map of Whitcomb Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The high plains of the Platte Co Laramie Co boundary area come into sharp focus in this early 1960s survey. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Chugwater Creek and its many seasonal tributaries, including Mendenhall Draw and Jacobs Draw. This is a region of established cattle ranching and early transportation corridors, where the Colorado and Southern railroad parallels the creek through the valley floor. Small-scale rural infrastructure is evident at the Chalk Hill Sch and the isolated settlement at Diamond, while the prominent elevations of Degans Butte and Whitcomb Hill provide natural landmarks in an otherwise rolling terrain. The presence of the Whitcomb Ranch and Brinton station points to the vital connection between the railroad and the local livestock economy during this era.
