1951 Map of Sucker Dam

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The boundary between Big Horn Co and Washakie Co cuts through this high desert drainage system, where water management defines the sparse human footprint. At the center of this 1951 survey is Sucker Dam, a focal point for the complex network of ephemeral waterways including Fifteenmile Creek and Reservoir Creek. The landscape is characterized by its intermittent drainage patterns, as seen in the winding paths of Dry Cottonwood Creek and Corral Creek. A rare sign of historical habitation appears with the Rex Mueller Cabin (Aban'd) near the banks of Timber Creek. This map, produced for the development of the Missouri River Basin, provides a precise record of how surveyors documented the arid stretches of northern Wyoming before significant modern changes, capturing the isolated structures and named landmarks of the mid-century ranching and irrigation landscape.
