1984 Map of New Haven

About this map

New Haven serves as the focal point for this rural Crook County landscape during the mid-1980s. The settlement pattern is defined by scattered outposts such as Barnard and Barlow, connected by a network of improved and unimproved roads. The terrain is deeply carved by watercourses, including Muskrat Creek and Elkhorn Creek, which feed into the wider drainage system of the region. Local industry and infrastructure are represented by a Gravel Pit near the northern border and a Pumping Station along a marked pipeline. Genealogists may find interest in the isolated Cem located near Muskrat Creek, while landmarks like Sawmill Gulch and Butte Divide illustrate the topographical transitions between elevated plateaus and the lower creek basins. Numerous wells, including a specific Flowing Well in the western reaches, indicate the vital role of groundwater management for ranching and settlement in this portion of Wyoming.
