1959 Map of Savageton

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The high plains of Campbell County are dominated by the Pumpkin Buttes in the late 1950s, a landscape defined by an extensive network of ephemeral draws and prongs feeding into Pumpkin Creek. This era reveals a ranching economy where namesake family holdings like the Wagstaff Ranch, Jordan Ranch, and Gilbertz Ranch are connected by unimproved dirt tracks across the sagebrush. At the settlement of Savageton, the community is anchored by the Schlautmann School and St Francis Ch, while a nearby Cem and the Gilkie Ranch (Aband) provide clear evidence of the shifting population patterns of the mid-20th century. Notable landmarks such as Wags Pinnacle and Chimney Hill rise above the drainage of Wild Horse Creek, serving as natural navigational markers in a region where isolated Mines and a private Landing Field hint at the emerging industrial and logistical needs of the Wyoming interior.
