1958 Map of Yellowstone Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Yellowstone Ranch and other isolated homesteads anchor this mid-century look at the high plains of Fremont County, where the landscape is defined by the sharp topographical break of the Beaver Divide. The map illustrates the specialized infrastructure required for ranching and resource extraction in this arid environment, including the Samuel Large Ditch and its related branches that divert water across the drainage basins of Beaver Creek and Cottonwood Creek. Small-scale industrial activity is evidenced by Mines located north of Henton Ranch, while the numerous named drainages like Hays Draw and Shearing Pen Draw reveal a local geography centered on seasonal water flow and livestock management. This 1950s survey, updated with late-1970s aerial data, provides a clear record of land use before modern intensive development, documenting the proximity of the Arthur Ranch to the rugged breaks of Mc Turk Draw.
