1957 Map of Devils Tooth

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Buffalo Bill Reservoir dominates the northwestern corner of this Wyoming landscape, where the South Fork Shoshone River feeds into the controlled waters just west of Cedar Mountain. The 1957 field survey reveals a region defined by the intersection of high-altitude ranching and the emerging energy industry of the late 1950s. Established ranching operations like the Diamond Bar Ranch and Hoodoo Ranch occupy the drainages of Carter Creek and Sage Creek, while the presence of the Half Moon Oil Field, the Spring Creek Oil Field, and a Sulphur Refinery indicate the intense industrial activity characterizing the Basin. To the southwest, the terrain rises sharply into the Shoshone National Forest, reaching landmarks like the jagged Devils Tooth and the high elevations of Carter Mountain, providing a stark contrast to the irrigation networks of the Cody Canal and Indian Lateral on the basin floor.
