1951 Map of Fuller Reservoir

About this map

Dry Cheyenne Creek and Muskrat Creek carve a series of detailed drainages across this central Wyoming landscape during the early 1950s. The area is defined by its water management systems, notably the namesake Fuller Reservoir and the smaller Brody Reservoir and Deadman Reservoir, which supported the region's ranching or agricultural needs. Surveyed as part of the Department of the Interior's Missouri River Basin development program, the topography shows a network of unimproved routes and light-duty roads, including the Shoshoni Road and Nebo Road. These pathways connect various benchmarks like BM 5334 and BM 5102, indicating the precise mapping of this high-plains terrain. The landscape is largely open, with the intricate contour lines revealing the erosion patterns of the creek beds and the strategic placement of earthen dams.
