1951 Map of Dead Indian Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Horseshoe Bedground and Wagon Hound Bedground anchor this Wyoming landscape, reflecting the region's historic livestock grazing patterns at the start of the 1950s. The terrain is marked by a network of drainage systems including Fifteenmile Creek and Big Draw, where small reservoirs like School Section Reservoir and Adair Reservoir were established to manage water in the arid environment. The map provides a unique look at isolated homesteads and seasonal dwellings, identifying several specific sites such as Mc Donald Cabins and the Hewitt Place. Of particular interest to local historians are the noted structures along the gulches, including the Stone Cabin and the Kemick Cabin (Aband). This survey, conducted as part of the Missouri River Basin development program, captures the intersection of three counties — Park, Big Horn, and Washakie — at a time when traditional land use centered on these high bedgrounds and scattered cabins.
