1959 Map of Bates Creek Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Bates Creek Reservoir and its surrounding drainage basin define this high-altitude landscape along the border of Natrona and Carbon counties. In 1959, the area reflects a working landscape of ranching and resource extraction, anchored by the Two Bar Camp to the north and a designated Mining Camp further south. The topography is dominated by the prominent Moss Agate Ridge, which provides a geographic backdrop for the sparse network of unimproved roads and the Landing Strip. The presence of the Old Bates site near the Casper Road suggests an earlier phase of settlement or commerce in this basin. Water management is central to the area's utility, visible through several labeled springs and the southern Percy Reservoir. The map captures a moment when industrial activity, evidenced by a Drill Hole, coexisted with the traditional cattle-camp culture of the Wyoming interior.
