1987 Map of Badland Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Badland Hills dominate this portion of Park County, showing a landscape defined by intricate drainage patterns and erosion. This 1987 provisional survey reveals the essential infrastructure required to move water through the arid terrain, most notably the Heart Mountain Canal and its associated Pumping Station. These features, along with the Lateral Ditch, suggest a system engineered to support the agricultural potential of the Ralston Flats in the southeast. Natural waterways like the West Fork Big Sand Coulee and Little Sand Coulee carve through the hills, while a series of pipelines and trails cross the high ground, indicating a region utilized for both resource extraction and irrigation. The presence of Alkali Creek further highlights the distinct soil chemistry of this Wyoming landscape during the late twentieth century.
