About this map

Squaw Butte dominates the central portion of this mid-century landscape in Fremont County, Wyoming, standing as a prominent landmark for travelers and ranchers. The terrain is characterized by the winding path of Muskrat Creek and the distinctive geological formation of the Chalk Hills to the southeast. These features define a high-desert environment where water management was essential for survival and livestock.

Evidence of local ranching infrastructure is visible through scattered labels for a Windmill and various Well sites. Transportation is limited to functional routes like the Scotty Clark Road, reflecting a time before significant modern development reached this part of the Missouri River Basin. Surveying markers like VABM Love provide precise reference points for researchers tracing the historical mapping of this territory during the early 1950s.
