1967 Map of McDermotts Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Bonanza Field defines the industrial character of this Big Horn and Washakie County borderlands area in the late 1960s. The landscape is heavily marked by energy extraction, featuring numerous drill holes, oil wells, and the Bonanza Pumping Sta, all interconnected by a network of pipelines. For genealogists, the Bonanza Cem serves as a vital record of the early settlers who worked this land. Water management is equally prominent, with the Nowood River feeding the Avant Ditch in the north, while a series of reservoirs including Bonanza Res No 1 and Lapula Reservoir are scattered across the arid terrain. The prominent McDermotts Butte stands as a landmark above the drainage of Durphy Gulch and Deadman Gulch.
