1952 Map of Wolf Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Wolf Ridge dominates the central landscape of this Rio Blanco County terrain, surveyed just after the middle of the twentieth century. The map reveals a remote ranching and educational outpost defined by the Ryan School located in the southeast corner along Ryan Gulch. Water management is the primary sign of human development in this arid environment, evidenced by the presence of an Artesian Well, a Flume, and a Ditch near the 84 Ranch. Drainage patterns are meticulously detailed along Yellow Creek and Duck Creek, while various springs like Stake Spr underscore the importance of reliable water sources for local livestock. The network of winding trails and seasonal gulches such as Corral Gulch and Box Elder Gulch illustrates how early residents navigated the high country of western Colorado.
