1960 Map of Leavitt Reservoir

About this map

Bighorn National Forest dominates the eastern half of this landscape, where the terrain rises sharply toward Hunt Mountain. This 1960 field-checked survey illustrates the transition from the high ridges of Horse Creek Mesa down to the drainage systems of the North Beaver Creek and South Beaver Creek. The irrigation and water management infrastructure of the era is evident in the western lowlands, anchored by Leavitt Reservoir and the London Ditch.
