1966 Map of Rotten Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The rugged ranchlands along the border of Oldham and Potter counties are defined here by a network of seasonal watercourses and critical water infrastructure. In a landscape where surface water is scarce, named windmills such as the Wildorado Windmill, Shipping Pasture Windmill, and Cactus Flat Windmill reveal the essential reliance on groundwater for the local cattle industry. The terrain is marked by distinctive formations like the Five Fingers and Rotten Hill, while the Blue Hole serves as a notable landmark near Daniels Creek. This 1966 field-checked survey captures the area before modern developments, showing the remote Wildorado Camp and a system of unimproved ranch roads like Goodman and Hand Dr that provided the only access through the breaks and draws of Cruz de la Creek and Wildorado Creek.
