1958 Map of Del Monte Ridge

About this map

Del Monte Ridge defines the high ground of this Fremont County landscape, overlooking an intricate network of drainages and seasonal water catchments. The terrain is marked by numerous draws such as Ninemile Draw and Fivemile Draw, which feed into larger watercourses like Twin Creek and Dry Twin Creek. Evidence of early resource extraction appears via scattered Oil Well and Oil Wells locations south of Red Bluff Creek. This area's utility for ranching and land management is indicated by the significant number of man-made water features, including Sevenmile Reservoir, Carr Reservoir, Sandstone Reservoir, and Dobe Reservoir. The map also captures several named springs and forks, such as Sheep Mountain Spr and the South Fork Hall Creek, reflecting the essential nature of water sources in this arid Wyoming environment during the mid-twentieth century.
