1953 Map of Squaw Rock

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Mining operations and water management systems define this mid-century look at the Wyoming landscape. The Cooney Hills rise in the northeast, where prospectors worked the Precious Honor Mine No 1 and Precious Honor Mine No 2, alongside several other inactive sites. This survey, conducted for the development of the Missouri River Basin, reveals a complex network of drainage and irrigation, from the Laramie River in the north to the Sybille Creek in the south. A significant piece of infrastructure, the Wyoming Development Company Canal No 1, cuts through the northern hills, illustrating the era's focus on reclaiming arid lands for agricultural use. The prominent heights of Squaw Mountain and Squaw Rock provide topographic anchors for the surrounding drainages of Reed Creek and McMurray Creek.
