1959 Map of Bates Creek Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Bates Creek Reservoir dominates the high plains of the Natrona and Carbon County line, marking a landscape defined by water management and resource extraction in the late 1950s. The presence of Two Bar Camp and a dedicated Mining Camp suggests a period of active land use and labor, while a remote Landing Strip and Drill Hole indicate the logistical reach required for Wyoming's backcountry operations. The winding Casper Medicine Bow Road serves as the primary artery through this terrain, connecting isolated points like Percy Reservoir and the prominent Moss Agate Ridge. This survey documents a specific moment in the mid-century development of the region, where the intersection of Bates Creek and Squaw Creek supported both seasonal encampments and permanent industrial exploration.
