1961 Map of Provence Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Bozeman Trail cuts a historical diagonal across this landscape in the early 1960s, a reminder of the overland route that once linked the Oregon Trail to the Montana gold fields. This high plains terrain in Johnson County is defined by its drainage network, where seasonal waterways like Ninemile Creek and Antelope Creek have carved deep coulees and draws through the Powder River Breaks. Ranching life is evident in the scattered water management features, including Goble Reservoir and Joe Reservoir, which support isolated outposts such as Provence Ranch and Bonnidee. The presence of the Hoe Ranch Road and a solitary Landing Strip emphasizes the vast distances and specialized transportation required to manage these remote holdings. Researchers can trace the intersection of historical cattle-driving paths with the established section lines and fenceways of mid-century Wyoming agriculture.
