About this map

Walker Creek School stands as a focal point in this 1970 landscape of Converse County, Wyoming. The terrain is defined by a dense network of intermittent watercourses, including Walker Creek, Piney Creek, and Cottonwood Creek, which weave through the high plains. The infrastructure of the era is marked by a prominent pipeline and a Pumping Sta, reflecting the industrial utility of the land alongside ranching interests.

Water management is a visible priority on this sheet, evidenced by the presence of a Flowing Well and several other wells used to sustain life in this arid environment. The map captures a moment before significant modern development, where family landmarks and small-scale structures like the Drill Hole in the northeast and the drainage patterns of Gould Draw and Miller Draw provide the primary geographic context for local history and genealogy.
