1984 Map of Turnercrest

About this map

Turnercrest serves as the focal point for this 1984 Wyoming survey, situated in a landscape defined by the drainage systems of the Powder River Basin. The convergence of Little Bates Creek, North Bates Creek, and Mexican Springs Creek highlights the essential water sources that have historically shaped ranching and settlement in Campbell County. The presence of a Tank near the township boundary of T 42 N and T 41 N indicates the managed infrastructure necessary for livestock and industrial activity in this semi-arid region. In the eastern portion of the quadrangle, the expansive terrain of Reno Flats underscores the open, low-relief geography characteristic of the northeastern Wyoming plains during the late twentieth century.
