1911 Map of Meeteetse

About this map

The Meeteetse settlement serves as the central hub of this 1911 survey, situated at a strategic crossing of the Greybull River. The landscape is dominated by the dramatic elevation of the Meeteetse Rim to the north and the expansive Little Buffalo Basin to the south. Early 20th-century industry is represented by the Black Diamond Mine located near Long Hollow, while the agrarian footprint of the Bighorn Basin is evidenced by the Antler Canal and isolated outposts like Renner's Ranch. The map also traces the historic Cody Road as it winds through the northern hills. This topography reveals a high-plains economy transitioning from open-range ranching toward more permanent irrigation and mining, with small settlements like Dumbell and Sunshine anchored near the confluence of the Wood River and Sunshine Creek.
