1971 Map of The Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The Gap and its surrounding high plains landscape are defined by a network of ephemeral watercourses and prominent local landmarks in central Wyoming. This early 1970s survey captures the region's ranching character, centered on the Gap Sch and several family-named or utilitarian reservoirs like Mary Alice Reservoir and Rourke Reservoir. The topography is marked by several distinctive heights, including Antelope Butte and Rocky Butte, which overlook the winding paths of Antelope Creek and Tisdale Creek. The land is further etched by drainage features such as Shearing Pen Draw and Lee Draw, suggesting a landscape utilized for livestock and resource extraction, evidenced by scattered Gravel Pits and a prominent Radio Tower. The intricate arrangement of fence lines and drill holes across the terrain reflects the methodical development of the Wyoming backcountry during this era.
