1970 Map of Bill 4 SE

About this map

Moore Ranch anchors this high plains landscape in Converse County, where the topography is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems. The water economy of the early 1970s is evident through multiple labels for Flowing Wells and a specifically marked Oil Well, illustrating the reliance on both natural springs and industrial extraction. Significant watercourses such as Box Creek, Lightning Creek, and Walker Creek carve through the terrain, providing essential landmarks for ranching operations. The presence of a remote Landing Strip near the center of the map highlights the vast distances and the importance of aerial access in this corner of Wyoming. This map captures a specific moment in the rural development of the region, showing the intersection of traditional land use and the infrastructure of the energy industry.
