1970 Map of Simpson Draw

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Simpson Draw and the West Fork Simpson Draw carve through this central Converse County landscape, defining the local hydrology and settlement patterns in the years following the 1969 aerial survey. The map records a transition toward energy extraction, noted by the presence of a Pipeline and a Gas Well in the northeastern reaches. Despite this industrial shift, the area remains anchored by long-standing ranching operations. Names like Sybrant, Hall Ranch, and York Ranch provide essential data points for genealogists and local historians tracking land use and family holdings. The drainage network, including Shawnee Creek and Smith Creek, illustrates the varied topography of this Wyoming plains region during the early 1970s.
