1952 Map of Badwater NE

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Bighorn Mountains terrain dominates this 1952 study area, where a network of trails and isolated cabins illustrates the ranching and herding life of mid-century Natrona County. The landscape is defined by high-altitude grazing areas like Okie Pasture, supported by numerous seasonal outposts including Balkett Cabin, Larson Cabin, and Bishop Cabin. These remote structures, along with the Sheep Camp and various corrals, highlight a specialized economy reliant on the seasonal movement of livestock through the foothills. Movement across the territory is facilitated by established routes such as the Bighorn Trail and Okie Trail, which follow the natural contours between drainages. Significant water sources like Badwater Creek and Deep Creek carve through the mountain slopes, providing essential irrigation and stock water for the scattered ranching operations depicted.
