1952 Map of Seventy-one Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The high desert landscape of central Wyoming is defined here by its ranching history and the strategic management of water in the Missouri River Basin. Linn Ranch serves as a primary hub of human activity, connected to the wider region by the winding Linn Ranch Road and Love Ranch Road. The terrain is marked by the Moneta Divide and the Chalk Hills, providing a clear look at the topographic boundaries that dictated settlement and movement in this part of Fremont County. The eponymous Seventy-one Reservoir and various Windmills scattered across the quadrangle illustrate the critical infrastructure required for livestock survival on the arid plains. To the northeast, the isolated Merriam Meadows offers a change in terrain near the upper reaches of Deer Creek, showing the subtle shifts in vegetation and water availability that ranching families relied upon.
