1951 Map of Schuster Flats NW

About this map

Red Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this high desert landscape, which was surveyed during the early 1950s as part of the Department of the Interior's Missouri River Basin development program. The terrain is defined by a series of branching drainage systems, with the northern expanse carved by Fivemile Creek while the southern reach is dominated by the winding course of Fifteenmile Creek. This map documents a transitional zone along the border of Big Horn Co and Washakie Co, where the land is largely shaped by natural watercourses like the North Fork and Middle Fork Tenmile Creek. These drainages suggest a landscape utilized for open-range grazing, punctuated only by vertical control points such as VABM Dorsey and VABM Pond. The lack of dense development underscores the arid, rural character of the region during this mid-century period.
