1950 Map of Hell Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Wild Cat Hills rise above the drainage of Broom Creek and Patten Creek in this mid-century survey of the Platte and Goshen county line. The landscape is defined by its ranching heritage, with several family-named locations such as the Old 4J Ranch, Brownrigg Ranch, and the Muthart Place marking the sparse settlement of the high plains. A clear transition in local infrastructure is evident near the Patten Creek Sch (Aband), reflecting shifts in the rural population center. Industrial activity is represented by the Greenhope Mine (Inactive) and a prominent Oil Pipe Line cutting across the terrain. The topography drops sharply into Whalen Canyon near the eponymous Hell Gap, where the rugged breaks provide a stark contrast to the surrounding creek draws.
