1960 Map of Devils Kitchen

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Devils Kitchen defines the stark badlands landscape of Big Horn County as it was documented in the late 1950s. The map reveals an intricate network of water management features vital to the local economy, including Porter Canal, Whaley Ditch, and several aqueducts that carry water across the arid terrain. The southern portion of the sheet is marked by named geographical landmarks such as Potato Ridge and the Potato Draw, while numerous claypits and claypits scattered throughout the northern sections indicate active industrial extraction during this period. The drainage systems of Bear Creek and Shell Creek are meticulously mapped alongside family-named features like Scharen Gulch and Sheldon Gulch, which provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing land use and early settlements in this part of Wyoming.
