1918 Map of Moorcroft
USGS Topo · Published 1941About this map
The Chicago Burlington and Quincy Railroad defines the development of this northeastern Wyoming landscape, cutting a diagonal path through the high plains and connecting the settlements of Moorcroft, Thornton, and Upton. Surveyed in the mid-1910s, the map reveals a rural society built around cattle ranching and early dryland farming, evidenced by the dense network of country schools like Thompson School, Thorn Ridge School, and Soda Butte School distributed across the drainage basins of the Belle Fourche River and Inyan Kara Creek.
