1960 Map of Leavitt Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Bighorn National Forest dominates the eastern elevation of this area, where the high terrain of Hunt Mountain meets the shelf of Horse Creek Mesa. The landscape is defined by a complex drainage system flowing westward, including Whaley Creek and Beaver Creek, which feed into the valley floor. Water management for local ranching is evident in features like the London Ditch and the storage at Leavitt Reservoir, which is held by a mapped dam near the southwestern corner. Settlement is sparse, anchored by the Leavitt Ranch situated along the lower reach of Beaver Creek. High-altitude landmarks such as Hudson Falls and the survey marker VABM 10162 Hudson provide specific points of reference for those tracing historical land use and early water engineering in Big Horn County.
