1952 Map of Gates Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Badwater Creek winds through the heart of this central Wyoming landscape, serving as the primary drainage for a network of intermittent waterways including Schoening Creek and Dolus Creek. This mid-century survey, conducted for the development of the Missouri River Basin, reveals a quiet ranching environment defined by its water management and named landforms. Notable features such as Gates Butte, Gibbs Butte, and Day Butte provide distinct landmarks across the high desert terrain. Evidence of former occupation and agricultural infrastructure is present at the Gibbs Place (Aband) and the dry remains of the Chicago Burlington and Quincy Ditch (Aband), reflecting the challenges of maintaining permanent settlements in this arid region north of Cedar Ridge.
