1958 Map of Yellowstone Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Yellowstone Ranch and other remote outposts like Arthur Ranch and Henton Ranch anchor this landscape in Fremont County, Wyoming, as it was surveyed for the Missouri River Basin development program. The terrain is defined by a complex network of ephemeral drainages including Government Slide Draw, Hays Draw, and Shearing Pen Draw, which cut toward the primary course of Beaver Creek. To the south, a group of Mines suggests the mineral interests of the era, situated near the Proposed Alignment of a roadway cutting through the foothills. The dramatic topography culminates along the Beaver Rim, where Devils Gap Spring provides a rare water source in the high desert environment. This survey captures the ranching and resource-extraction footprint in the late 1950s, detailing a period before modern infrastructure further altered the rugged paths through Hall Creek and Cottonwood Creek.
