1972 Map of Haymaker Ranch SW

About this map

The Olaf Community Center stands as a primary landmark in this rural Wheatland County landscape, situated where the high plains meet the northern reaches of the Lewis and Clark National Forest. The map detail reveals a complex network of seasonal drainage and perennial flows that have shaped the ranching history of the area. Significant watercourses including Clarks Fork, Haymaker Creek, and Daisy Dean Creek cut through the terrain, flanked by numerous named coulees such as Morrisy Coulee and Barnhart Coulee. This 1970s survey captures a snapshot of the region's agricultural infrastructure, including a Flowing Well and a Gravel Pit, illustrating how water management and local resource extraction supported the remote communities and ranches nestled within these creek valleys.
