1915 Map of Grass Creek Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1937

About this map

Dickie Ranch and several other family homesteads define the high-desert settlement pattern of the Hot Springs region during the early twentieth century. This survey, conducted shortly before the mid-1910s, reveals a landscape dominated by livestock ranching and early mineral extraction. The isolated Putney Mine and the descriptive Coalmine Draw indicate the beginnings of local industry, while an extensive network of watercourses like Wagonhound Creek and Cottonwood Creek dictate the placement of improvements such as the Wales Reservoir. The terrain is sharply delineated by high features like Blue Ridge and the broad Wagonhound Bench, showing how the geography of the Bighorn Basin influenced the spread of early Wyoming settlers and their livestock operations.
