1966 Map of Big Trails NE

About this map

Canyon Creek Ranch and Taylor Bros Ranch anchor this mid-1960s landscape of high-country drainage systems in Washakie County. The map reveals an area defined by its hydrology and livestock operations, where Alkali Creek and Otter Creek carve through the terrain alongside distinctive features like Woods Gulch and Cooks Canyon. Infrastructure is centered around ranching and limited recreation, evidenced by the Girl Scout National Center Road (Boundary) and a remote Landing Strip near the W Diamond Ranch. A small Cem (cemetery) and water sources like Coyote Spring and a marked Well indicate the sparse but vital human footprint required to sustain life in this arid region of the Bighorn Basin watershed.
