1959 Map of Sanford Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Pathfinder Reservoir and the Pathfinder National Wildlife Refuge dominate the southeastern landscape of this Natrona County region, where high-desert water management meets the historical path of westward expansion. The presence of the Emigrant Trail cutting across the central plains speaks to the area's deep history as a corridor for travel, while the Sweetwater River and Piaya Lake provide crucial water sources in a terrain defined by significant rock formations. Local ranching and industrial activity are evidenced by the Sanford Ranch and scattered Oil Well and Gravel Pit labels. Topographic features like Black Rock Mountain and Steamboat Rock serve as landmarks above the Black Rock Draw, illustrating the varied elevations and drainage patterns that dictated early road placements such as Buzzard Road and Dry Creek Road.
