1913 Map of Meeteetse

About this map

Meeteetse serves as the central hub of this 1911 survey, situated at the confluence of Meeteetse Creek and the Greybull River. The landscape is defined by its early ranching and mining infrastructure, notably the Black Diamond Mine located just north of the town along the Cody Road. The presence of the Antler Canal in the southwestern corner indicates the early efforts to divert water for agricultural use in this arid environment. Further south, the map identifies small settlements like Dumbell and Sunshine, alongside established outposts such as Renner's Ranch. The terrain reveals a complex network of drainage basins, from the broad Little Buffalo Basin to uniquely named landmarks like Hole in the Ground, illustrating the transition from river valleys to the high desert plateaus of the Big Horn Basin. This survey captures the region just as the county lines between Park Co and Hot Springs Co were being firmly established.
