Geologic Map of Ringling

A view from 1939:

RINGLING, (5,304 alt., 152 pop.), was named for the circus Ringlings, whose ranch properties in this section formerly included more than 100,000 acres. The town is an important shipping point for Smith River Valley wheat, which has high protein content. It was the southern terminal of the old White Sulphur Springs and Yellowstone Park R. R., now a 23-mile spur of the Milwaukee; this short railroad for many years operated but one combination-train daily, yet paid regular dividends.
