1966 Map of Elk Basin SE

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

Agricultural development and industrial transit define the landscape of northern Park County on this mid-century survey. The town of Powell serves as a hub for the surrounding Powell Flats, where a disciplined grid of irrigation infrastructure is evident through the presence of the Frannie Canal and several lateral roads such as Lateral Eleven Road. The terrain is dominated by the dramatic elevation of Polecat Bench to the west, a flat-topped landform that overlooks the valley floor. Evidence of the region's energy and resource sector is visible in a long-distance Pipeline cutting across the bench and a Gravel Pit near the Powell Municipal Airport. Local drainage is managed by Bitter Creek, which winds through the lower flats near the town site, illustrating the reliance on both natural and engineered water systems in this Wyoming basin.
