1952 Map of Seventy-one Reservoir

About this map

Seventy-one Reservoir and the surrounding high plains of Fremont County are captured here during a mid-century period of land management and ranching. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, notably Deer Creek and Canyon Creek, which carve through the arid terrain. Working ranch life is evident through landmarks such as Linn Ranch and Merriam Meadows, connected by primitive routes like the Ranch Road and Love Ranch Road. The topography transitions from the northern flats toward the elevated Moneta Divide in the south, while the Chalk Hills provide a distinct geological marker in the southwest corner. The presence of multiple Windmill sites across the sheet underscores the importance of water infrastructure for supporting livestock in this open Wyoming range.
