1961 Map of The Reefs

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Soda Lake and Ninemile Lake dominate the arid basin floor of this Natrona County landscape, which reflects the industrial and residential expansion north of Casper during the mid-20th century. The settlement of Richardson Acres appears on the western edge of the quadrangle, illustrating the post-war subdivision of the high plains. The area is heavily marked by energy infrastructure, including an extensive network of pipelines and an Oil Tank Farm (Abandoned) south of the distinctive geological formation known as The Reefs. Aviation and communication are represented by Harford Field and a prominent Radio Tower, while the Casper and Evansville corporate boundaries indicate the encroaching urban footprint. This document provides a look at the intersection of Wyoming's petroleum industry and local land development before late-century growth altered the rural character of these high plateaus.
