1952 Map of Badwater

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Hendry Ranch and the Swaim Place stand as primary points of habitation in this high-desert landscape during the early 1950s. The map illustrates a region defined by complex drainage systems and significant geological relief, centered on the prominent Cedar Ridge and its passage at Cedar Gap. Transportation is largely restricted to established routes like the Badwater Road and the Lost Cabin Arminto Road, reflecting the infrastructure of Natrona County's ranching and early energy exploration sectors. An Oil Well (Dry) and a Derrick near the southern margin point to the area's mid-century petroleum prospecting. Water sources are critical landmarks here, with Frenchie Creek, Clear Creek, and Badwater Creek carving paths through the terrain, while various Springs provide essential points of interest for local history and genealogy research.
