1966 Map of Bader Draw

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Black Mountain and the surrounding high desert of the Bighorn Basin define this mid-1960s survey along the border of Washakie and Hot Springs counties. The landscape is marked by a complex network of ephemeral drainages, including Nowater Creek and the central Bader Draw, which feed into various man-made catchments vital for high-altitude ranching and industry. Resource extraction is a primary feature of the area, centered on the Black Mountain Oil Field and scattered infrastructures like Scorpion Well. Evidence of seasonal livestock operations and regional land management appears through the naming of the Holland Winter Camp and Seaman Ranch. The map also traces the Lake Creek Divide, illustrating how topography dictated the placement of a winding Jeep Trail through Minnick Basin and the various reservoirs that sustain this arid environment.
