1951 Map of Owens

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

Stockade Beaver Creek and its neighboring drainages define this stretch of Weston County, Wyoming, during the early 1950s. The small settlement of Owens sits in the northeastern corner of the map, while further south, the M W Ranch marks a point of human habitation in an otherwise open landscape. This area is characterized by an intricate network of waterways, including Blacktail Creek, Whoopup Creek, and South Beaver Creek. The presence of a Ditch, a Flume, and localized Gravel Pits suggests small-scale land management and industrial activity associated with the regional ranching economy. Transportation is anchored by the Morrissey Road, which traverses the western edge of the quadrangle. Produced as part of the Department of the Interior's Missouri River Basin development program, the map provides a precise look at the drainage patterns and early post-war infrastructure of the Wyoming-South Dakota borderlands.
