1971 Map of The Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Antelope Butte and Rocky Butte anchor this high-plains landscape in Campbell County, where the topography is defined by the sharp drop-off at The Gap. This early 1970s survey documents a region utilized for ranching and resource extraction, evidenced by the numerous Drill Hole locations and Gravel Pit sites scattered across the terrain. Rural education is marked by the presence of the Gap Sch, providing a rare point of social infrastructure in this sparsely populated area. The drainage network is critical to this semi-arid environment, with Tisdale Creek and Duck Nest Creek winding through the draws. Man-made water management is visible at the Mary Alice Reservoir and Rourke Reservoir, which likely supported livestock along with features like the Shearing Pen Draw near the eastern boundary.
