1967 Map of Wild Horse Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

The Nowood River valley and its surrounding drainage systems define the geography of this Washakie County landscape in the late 1960s. The map highlights the vital role of water management in this arid region, as evidenced by the West Ditch and the Victoria Windsor Ditch snaking along the riverbanks to support local agriculture. The terrain rises sharply from the river bottom to prominent elevations like Blue Ridge and Wild Horse Hill, while a network of ephemeral watercourses including Little Cottonwood Creek, Wild Horse Creek, and Red Gulch carve into the high ground. Early industrial activity is visible in the presence of the Occidental Well (Flowing) and a Drill Hole, reflecting the region's history of mineral and water exploration. Livestock and ranching needs are further evidenced by the Big Cottonwood Reservoir, a critical water source located in the southwestern portion of the quadrangle.
