1969 Map of Leckie Reservoir

About this map

Elk Mountain dominates the central landscape of this Sublette County quadrangle, rising above a high-altitude terrain defined by essential water management and ranching operations. The Leckie Reservoir sits to the west of the mountain mass, while the Elkhorn Ditch and Little Sandy Creek provide vital irrigation and drainage across the eastern reaches of the sheet. The presence of the Arambel Ranch near the center of the survey illustrates the isolated nature of late 20th-century Wyoming livestock operations, where human settlement was sparse and anchored by dependable water sources. Long-established land divisions are noted by the intersection of Townships 28 and 29 North, cutting through the high country where several springs emerge from the slopes. The topography is marked by significant drainages like Long Draw, which carves through the undulating plains between the mountain and the creek beds.
