This is the sign that identified the ranch property in its later years. The ranch had its beginning in 1882 when Jackson Mantford Cartwright at age 16 joined in partnership with his father, Reddick Jasper Cartwright in driving their cattle from the Valley to their new homestead near Seven Springs. Over the course of time, they acquired neighboring ranches and continued to buy cattle so by the end of WWI the ranch held grazing permits for 5,668 cows.
