1963 Map of Tea Kettle Rock

About this map

Tea Kettle Rock and the surrounding high plains of Goshen County define this western landscape as it was documented in the early 1960s. The terrain is characterized by the prominent rise of Ninemile Hill and the essential path of the Interstate Canal across the southern portion of the quadrangle. This area shows the critical infrastructure of the Missouri River Basin development program, where water management and ranch access were paramount. Small-scale industrial and aviation footprints are visible through a local Sandpit and a remote Landing Strip, while the Tea Kettle Rock Road provides a primary corridor through the open range. The map captures a moment in Wyoming's history where topography dictated the placement of roads and resource management systems, reflecting a sparsely populated but active ranching and utility environment.
