1952 Map of Badwater SE

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Lichty Cabin and other isolated outposts define the human footprint in this high-desert ranching landscape of Natrona County. Mapped in the early 1950s, the terrain is dominated by the complex drainage systems of Badwater Creek and its seasonal tributaries, including Dry Fork Badwater Creek and Red Creek. The map documents a period when former residences like the Hitchcock Homestead and Red Ranch had already transitioned to abandoned status, illustrating the challenging nature of sustaining permanent settlements in this arid environment. Transportation is limited to a network of primitive routes, notably the Lost Cabin Arminto Road and various jeep trails that navigate the high points, such as the prominent VABM 7477 Badwater. This survey provides essential detail for those tracing family ties to the remote ranches and homesteads that once dotted the Wyoming interior.
