1953 Map of Rolling Pin Ranch

About this map

Pumpkin Buttes dominate the high plains of Campbell County in this 1950s survey, representing a significant landscape of ranching and exploration. The map highlights specific landmarks such as North Middle Butte and South Middle Butte, which tower over the surrounding drainage networks of Dry Willow Creek and Cottonwood Creek. Of particular interest is the involvement of the Atomic Energy Commission, whose credit in the margin hints at the era's uranium prospecting and geological investigations in the Powder River Basin.
