1967 Map of Pierce Draw

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Luman Creek and Laddie Creek carve through the high basins of the Big Horn and Washakie county border during the late 1960s. This survey, based on 1966 aerial photography, reveals a landscape defined by water management and natural drainages. Ranching and livestock infrastructure are evident through numerous named water sources, including the Renner Reservoir and Deer Draw Reservoir. The prevalence of artesian resources is noted by specifically labeled features such as Freddy Well (Flowing) and Renner Well (Flowing). The terrain is further characterized by deep canyons and washes like Pierce Draw and Center Canyon, while a network of trails and jeep trails provides the only evidence of human transit across the Brokenback highlands. The placement of Buffalo Springs and the Flowing Well suggest critical stop-over points in an otherwise arid and sparsely settled territory.
