1952 Map of Battle Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Battle Mountain dominates this high-altitude landscape in north-central Wyoming, where the headwaters of the Nowood River and Bates Creek carve through the terrain. The 1952 field check captures a remote pocket of ranching and homesteading history, marked by the Orchard Bates Creek Ranch and the Rate Homestead. This map serves as a vital record for researchers of local land use, showing how early 20th-century settlers utilized the proximity of water sources like Dead Indian Spring and the Buffalo Springs Creek network. The complex drainage patterns of Brome Draw and the Stove Canyon Creek canyon reveal the difficulty of the landscape, while the presence of the Mexican Lakes and family-named landmarks like Hawks Butte provide specific points of reference for genealogists tracing regional land claims near the Washakie, Hot Springs, and Natrona county lines.
