1972 Map of Dudley Spring

About this map

Poverty Flats and the branching coulees of Big Horn and Treasure counties define this 1970s landscape, where intermittent drainage patterns reveal a terrain adapted for ranching and resource management. The map documents scattered infrastructure including numerous wells and the distinctive Flowing Well (Hot), suggesting the geothermal character of the local water table. Near the center, the Old Ford Place serves as a lone marker of historic habitation amidst a network of cattle-country landmarks like Horse Pasture Coulee and Rough Springs Coulee.
