1961 Map of Walker Draw SE

About this map

The high plains of Albany Co and Carbon Co meet along a north-south boundary line where ranching and resource extraction define the local economy. The Little Medicine Bow River and Sheep Creek meander through the landscape, providing essential water sources for livestock operations in this arid region. Ranching infrastructure is clearly visible, centered on the Griffith Ranch and various outbuildings like the Corral located near the watercourses. The transportation network is anchored by Marshall Road, which cuts across the high ground of T B Flat. This 1961 field check also records industrial activity, such as a Gravel Pit near the road, highlighting the practical land use of the Wyoming interior during the early 1960s. The map’s fine red dashed lines indicate fence lines, offering a rare look at the exact boundaries of grazing lands and land tenure at mid-century.
