1952 Map of Arapahoe Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Arapahoe Butte and the towering elevation of Lysite Mountain dominate this mid-century look at the high-desert border between Hot Springs and Fremont counties. The landscape is defined by the practical infrastructure of the ranching era, featuring scattered outposts such as Reck Ranch, Mack Ranch, and Bow and Arrow Ranch. The presence of the Fuller Airstrip and the Bridger Pipeline indicates the intersection of traditional land use with modernizing energy and aviation needs. A network of ephemeral drainages, including Meadow Creek, Bridger Creek, and Sagebrush Draw, carves through the terrain, while the settlement at Greer sits near the base of the butte. This survey captures a moment when remote Wyoming ranchlands were increasingly mapped for their mineral potential and geographic importance to the Missouri River Basin project.
