1951 Map of Dutch Nick Flat SW

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Gooseberry Creek and its complex network of seasonal drainages define this stretch of the Wyoming basin along the boundary of Hot Springs and Washakie counties. The landscape is dominated by the prominent East Ridge, which separates the northern Dutch Nick Flat from the southern watercourses. Irrigation infrastructure, vital for settlement in this arid environment, is clearly visible through the Steele Ditch and Perkins Ditch systems. Local education and community life are anchored at the Steele School in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map reveals an intricate hydrography including Middle Fork Fifteenmile Creek and Paradise Alley, illustrating how early ranching and agricultural efforts utilized these natural draws and man-made aqueducts to manage water in the high desert.
