1964 Map of Hultz Draw

About this map

Big Goose Creek and its many tributaries, including Owl Creek and Soldier Creek, carve through this Sheridan County landscape as it appeared in the mid-1960s. The map reveals a rural environment transitioning toward managed recreation and utilities, notably seen at the Sheridan Municipal Golf Course and a nearby Military Reservation. Local education history is anchored by the Big Goose Sch, while the regional water infrastructure is clearly defined by the Colorado Colony Ditch and Alliance Ditch. Numerous family-named features like Hamma Draw, Gillispie Draw, and Jenkins Draw provide valuable clues for genealogists tracking land use and legacy in this portion of Wyoming. Topographical details from a 1963 survey are updated with 1976 aerial photography, capturing subtle shifts in the terrain and man-made structures such as a remote Radio Facility.
