1969 Map of Hunters Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Elk Basin Oil Field dominates the southwestern corner of this 1969 topographic survey, marking the intersection of the Montana-Wyoming border. This high-desert landscape is defined by its drainage systems and remote outposts, such as Maki Cabin, Lee Guard Cabin, and Mud Spring Cabin. The terrain is characterized by deep erosional features like Weatherman Draw and Castle Coulee, while human activity is evidenced by a prominent north-south Pipeline and the Burlington Northern railroad corridor in the northeast. Water management in this arid environment is visible through small-scale infrastructure like Hunters Reservoir and Jones Reservoir, which capture runoff from Hunters Creek and Little Hunters Creek. The map records a moment of industrial and livestock activity before modern consolidation, preserving the locations of specific cabins and early petroleum development in Carbon County.
