1952 Map of Cottonwood Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Cottonwood Pass and Davis Pass mark the high points of this transition between the eastern edge of the Bighorn Mountains and the northern slopes of Lysite Mountain. In the early 1950s, this landscape was defined by isolated homesteads and ranches, many of which were already marked as abandoned by the time of the field check. The Bader Homestead, Johnson Place, and Henry Place reflect the difficult realities of high-altitude settlement in Wyoming's high desert country. Active sites like Nichols Ranch and Britain Ranch sit near drainage systems like Cottonwood Creek and Snyder Creek, which carve through the terrain. The network of unimproved tracks, such as the No Wood Road, underscores the isolation of these holdings at the junction of Fremont, Hot Springs, and Natrona Counties.
