1978 Map of Kirtley SW

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Hat Creek Breaks dominates the northern landscape of this Niobrara County territory, where the terrain transitions into a series of drainages and springs. The map documents a sparsely settled ranching region in the late 1970s, defined by its water sources and essential transport links. Waterways like Middle Creek, Plum Creek, and Fitzsimmons Creek carve through the breaks, while isolated Springs and several Wells provide critical infrastructure for high-plains agriculture. The road network is primarily composed of improved and unimproved routes such as Kirtley Road and S Bar Road, which connect the scattered developments. For the researcher, the presence of various Drill Holes points toward the era's subsurface exploration and mineral interest in the Wyoming plains.
