1965 Map of Arapahoe Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Wind River Indian Reservation Boundary cuts across this high-elevation landscape, defining the northern edge of tribal lands in Hot Springs County. The map focuses on the complex drainage systems of North Fork Owl Creek and South Fork Owl Creek as they flow eastward from the high ridges. At the heart of this cattle-ranching country is the Arapahoe Ranch, a central node in an area defined by its named water sources. Numerous isolated springs, such as Chokecherry Spring, Blue Hill Spring, and Boghole Spring, illustrate the critical importance of water rights and livestock management in this arid terrain. Topographical landmarks like Padlock Rim and Blue Ridge rise above the deep cuts of Pumpkin Draw and Duncan Draw, showing the erosion patterns typical of the Wyoming basin. A single Oil Well suggests the early influence of the energy industry on this remote ranching landscape.
