1980 Map of Maki Creek

About this map

Bridger National Forest defines the western terrain of this Sublette County landscape, where a network of drainages flows eastward from the higher elevations. The historical presence of the Old Indian (Pack) Trail cutting through the center of the sheet suggests long-standing transit corridors through the drainage basins of North Cottonwood Creek and Maki Creek. While primarily an undeveloped wilderness area during this era, scattered industrial markers like a Gas Well and several Drill Hole sites indicate the early stages of energy exploration in the region. The map meticulously details the intricate hydrography of the area, including Killpecker Creek, Mickelson Creek, and several unnamed Springs, illustrating how water sources dictated the placement of early pack trails and resource development sites across this part of Wyoming.
