1968 Map of Roughlock Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The rugged break of the Red Wall and Gray Wall escarpments dominates this landscape in central Wyoming, marking a dramatic geological transition. Near the Buffalo Creek Ranch, a remote Landing Strip suggests the logistical isolation of this ranching country in the late 1960s. The map illustrates a network of seasonal water sources and springs vital for livestock, including Hackett Spring and Cow Spring, while cattle likely grazed across Houck Meadow and around The Island. Local travel followed the historic Thirtythree Mile Road and several jeep trails. High points like Roughlock Hill and Roughlock Butte provided natural landmarks for ranchers navigating the territory. The map also delineates the boundary between Johnson County and Natrona County as it crosses the Buffalo Creek drainage.
