1959 Map of Broad Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Broad Mesa dominates this Wyoming landscape, a high plateau defined by the erosive action of Wallace Creek and the Middle Fork Casper Creek. This mid-century topographical record shows a region shaped by high-desert ranching and early infrastructure, most notably at the 102 Ranch situated near the headwaters of the drainage. The network of unimproved dirt tracks and more established routes like Dry Creek Road and Poison Spider Rd connect the isolated ranching operations to larger arteries. A prominent Pipeline cuts across the southern sections of the map, illustrating the intersection of energy development with the traditional grazing lands. Genealogists and historians can trace the seasonal water sources such as the Spring and seasonal flows through McClanahan Draw that were vital for survival in this arid terrain.
