1971 Map of Arvada NE

About this map

The Powder River cuts through the arid landscape of the Wyoming plains, where the Sheridan and Campbell County line marks a border through ranching country. This early 1970s survey illustrates a terrain defined by complex water drainage systems, including Wild Horse Creek and the North Prong. The presence of the Burlington Northern railroad running parallel to the river reflects the enduring importance of this transportation corridor through the Powder River Basin. For researchers and genealogists, the Arvada Cemetery is a significant local landmark, situated near the western edge of the map. The map detail is peppered with numerous flowing wells, such as those along Williams Draw, highlighting the critical role of groundwater in this high-desert environment. Rising above the drainage basins, Tincom Butte serves as a prominent navigational marker in the southern portion of the quadrangle.
