About this map

Lysite and Lost Cabin anchor this Wyoming landscape in the early 1950s, serving as key points along the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad line. The settlement at Lost Cabin is particularly well-defined, featuring a Lost Cabin Cem and a Lost Cabin Landing Field, alongside the Lost Cabin Reservoir. The geography is defined by a network of drainage systems and water management, including the Burlington Reservoir and Days Res, which support the semi-arid terrain.

Industrial and transport infrastructure is evident through the presence of a Pipe Line and several sections of Ditch and Levee near Badwater Creek. Natural landmarks like Lookout Hill, Dolls Hill, and Noble Ridge provide topographic relief. The prevalence of named draws and creeks, such as Bridger Creek and Poison Creek, illustrates the critical importance of water rights and drainage in Fremont County’s development during this era.
