1969 Map of Leckie Reservoir

About this map

Elk Mountain dominates the central landscape of this Sublette County quadrangle, surveyed in the late 1960s. The topography is defined by the high-elevation drainage patterns of Little Sandy Creek and the long, sloping descent of Long Draw. Water management in this arid environment is evident through the presence of the Elkhorn Ditch and Leckie Reservoir, which provide necessary catchment for the high-plains terrain. Human presence is sparse, centered around the Arambel Ranch and a scattered Flowing Well to the northwest. The map captures the specialized ranching infrastructure of the era, where unimproved roads and seasonal springs dictate the movement of people and livestock across the Wyoming sagebrush and mountain slopes.
