1959 Map of Gaylord Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Wyatt Ranch and Davidson Ranch anchor this mid-century survey of the high plains in Natrona County, providing a clear view of ranching infrastructure at a time when many remote outposts were already noted as abandoned. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of the Middle Fork Casper Creek and Coyote Creek, which snake through the varied terrain toward the Gaylord Reservoir. These water sources, along with Wallace Creek and Wyatt Draw, were essential for the cattle operations and homesteads like the Morton Ranch that persisted in this environment. The presence of a significant Pipeline cutting across the southern sections illustrates the integration of industrial energy transport into the traditional grazing lands of central Wyoming during the late 1950s.
