1952 Map of Wolf Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Wolf Ridge dominates the central landscape of this Rio Blanco County terrain, surveyed via aerial photography in the late 1940s. The map reveals a land defined by its drainage systems and water infrastructure, essential for ranching in this environment. A complex network of water features includes a Ditch, several instances of a Flume, and a Windmill located near the 84 Ranch. These man-made improvements highlight the effort to manage seasonal runoff through canyons like Trail Canyon and gulches such as Corral Gulch. To the southeast, the presence of the Ryan School (ABAND) near Ryan Gulch suggests a shift in the local population or educational centers by the early 1950s. The topography is meticulously detailed, showing the interplay between significant elevations like VABM Bell 6525 and the meandering paths of Duck Creek and Yellow Creek.
