1952 Map of Moneta SE

About this map

Meigh Ranch stands as a primary landmark in this high-plains landscape of the central Wyoming basin, mapped just as the mid-century development of the Missouri River Basin project was underway. The area is defined by its sparse pastoral infrastructure, where livestock operations rely on isolated water sources like the marked Windmill and the seasonal flows of Deer Creek and Canyon Creek. To the west, the prominent geological formation known as Black Rocks breaks the high-desert horizon, providing a natural orientation point for ranchers and travelers moving through this remote boundary region between Fremont and Natrona counties. Other small-scale human imprints include the Herder site and several geodetic survey markers such as Vabm 5962, documenting the precision work of the Geological Survey during its 1952 field check.
