1951 Map of Schuster Flats NE

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

The boundary between Big Horn Co and Washakie Co cuts through this high desert landscape, mapped just as postwar energy exploration was reaching into these basins. This survey captures a remote ranching and prospecting territory centered around the landmark Dobie Butte and the locality of Alamo. The drainage patterns of Fivemile Creek, Sixmile Creek, and the upper forks of Tenmile Creek define the topography, revealing a system of seasonal watercourses that dictated movement through the territory. An early Oil Well near the center of the sheet indicates the burgeoning industrial interest in the region's subsurface resources. Geodetic markers like VABM Alamo and several brass benchmarks suggest the rigorous fieldwork required to survey this terrain for the Missouri River Basin development program.
