1960 Map of Otter Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Muddy Mountain dominates the center of this Wyoming landscape, where the high-altitude terrain of Natrona County transitions into a series of deeply carved drainage systems. In the early 1960s, the area remained defined by cattle ranching and early irrigation efforts, visible through isolated outposts like the Harris Ranch and the Milne Ranch. The intricate network of waterways, including the Clear Fork Muddy Creek and Beaver Creek, is supplemented by man-made infrastructure such as the Silver State Ditch No 1 and Lone Bear Ditch No 2, indicating the vital role of water management in this arid environment. To the east, the Hogback creates a sharp geological boundary, while the south reveals the open expanse of Deer Creek Park. This survey captures a moment when the rugged sheep and cattle country relied on remote sites like Cow Camp and unpaved routes such as the East End Road.
