1913 Map of Oregon Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1913

About this map

The Oregon Basin Bird Reservation anchors this 1910-1911 survey of Park County, centering on the prominent waters of Loch-Katrine. The landscape reveals a complex history of early irrigation and resource extraction, notably the presence of the Wiley Canal (Abandoned) and various segments of the Wiley Canal. Industrial activity is marked by the Eagle Mine and Wiley Mine, while local transit follows the established Cody and Meeteetse Road and the Cody and Burlington Road. In the southern reaches, the Greybull River flows past Sleeper's Ranch, providing a rare point of named habitation in a territory defined by distinctive landforms like Elk Butte and the sharp relief of the Meeteetse rim. The presence of multiple abandoned road and canal segments suggests a period of rapid adjustment to the harsh Wyoming environment as early settlers and engineers sought to harness the basin's water and mineral wealth.
