1951 Map of Owens

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Stockade Beaver Creek and its neighboring drainage systems define the high plains landscape of this 1951 survey in Weston County. The topography is shaped by the winding paths of Blacktail Creek, Whoopup Creek, and South Beaver Creek, illustrating the complex water management required in this arid region, further evidenced by a mapped Spillway and Flume. The settlement of Owens sits along the eastern edge of the quadrangle, positioned near the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad line that provided essential transport for the local economy. Regional connectivity is highlighted by the Morrissey Road and proximity to active Gravel Pits, while the presence of the M W Ranch reflects the enduring ranching tradition of eastern Wyoming. This map serves as a record of rural land use and infrastructure during the mid-century development of the Missouri River Basin.
