1966 Map of Henry Draw

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Nowater Creek and Mud Creek dominate this mid-century Wyoming landscape, where the drainage patterns of the Bighorn Basin reveal a territory defined by water management and mineral exploration. The presence of specialized infrastructure like the McCarthy Well and various Oil Wells indicates the region's industrial focus during the 1960s. Ranching and land use are further evidenced by a series of named water catchments, including Hampton Reservoir No 3, Hampton Reservoir No 4, Scorpion Hill Reservoir, and Pinky Reservoir. These features, along with the distinct paths of Henry Draw and Murphy Dome Draw, illustrate the vital importance of irrigation and water storage in this arid environment. The map also traces physical developments like pipelines and pump stations that supported the remote operations of the era.
