1952 Map of Haybarn Hill

About this map

Davison Ranch, Posey Ranch, and Ore Ranch anchor this mid-century look at the high plains of Fremont County, where scattered homesteads and water sources defined the livestock economy. The landscape is dominated by the seasonal drainages of Muskrat Creek and Conant Creek, which carve through the arid terrain toward the Missouri River Basin. Prominent local landmarks such as Haybarn Hill and Deadman Hill provide essential orientation points for travelers on the unpaved Scotty Clark Road. The presence of Oil Springs Creek and Horseshoe Creek in the southern reaches highlights the critical importance of water for both local wildlife and grazing stock in this part of Wyoming's interior during the early 1950s.
