1962 Map of Whitcomb Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Chugwater Creek and its many tributaries, including North Fork Chugwater Creek and Spring Creek, carve through this high-elevation landscape on the border of Platte and Laramie Counties. The mid-century geography is defined by the Colorado and Southern railroad line, which follows the creek valley past the Whitcomb Hill ranching area and the locality of Brinton. In the more isolated western reaches, features like Desans Butte and several long drainage systems such as Mendenhal Draw and Desans Draw dominate the terrain. A single educational landmark, Chalk Hill Sch, appears in the southern portion of the sheet, providing a rare point of civic infrastructure in this ranch-heavy region. The map preserves the exact placement of early pipelines and ranch-related sites like Mendenhal at a time when the rural landscape remained largely unchanged from its early settlement patterns.
