1951 Map of Reid Canyon

About this map

Pine Mountain dominates the western landscape of this early 1950s survey, rising above a network of drainages that feed the South Fork Casper Creek. The area's agricultural and industrial imprint is visible through the Strohecker Ranch and early energy infrastructure, including an Oil Well and associated tanks near the mountain's base. The terrain is defined by dramatic erosional features like the Haystacks and numerous named draws such as Jack Allen Draw and Haystack Draw. Water management and accessibility are central to this Wyoming landscape, evidenced by the Natrona Road and Natrona Ditch Road following the contours of the valley. A prominent Pipe Line cuts across the southern portion of the map, illustrating the post-war development of the Missouri River Basin and the region's role in resource transport.
