About this map

The Middle Fork Powder River winds through the heart of this high-country landscape, defining the transition between the Washakie and Natrona county line. This 1967 field-checked survey reveals a territory dominated by seasonal drainage and ranching infrastructure, where a network of primitive routes such as Cherry Creek Road and Thirtythree Mile Road provide the only access to the elevated plateau of Cherry Creek Hill.

Surface water is a critical feature across the terrain, with numerous unnamed Springs feeding into tributaries like Bar C Creek and Rock Creek. The presence of a Gaging Sta along the river and the naming of areas like Kidd Flat suggest a landscape utilized for livestock and resource management. Long stretches of Jeep Trail link the more permanent Hazelton Road to remote pockets of the Ridge, illustrating the utilitarian nature of the road network in the mid-1960s.
