1958 Map of Yellowstone Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Yellowstone Ranch and other remote high-desert outposts anchor this mid-century topographic study of the Wyoming landscape. The map details a sophisticated network of water management and livestock infrastructure essential to the high plains, most notably the Samuel P Large Ditch and the aptly named Shearing Pen Draw. The terrain is defined by the prominent Beaver Divide in the southeast, while the drainage systems of Beaver Creek and Cottonwood Creek dictate the placement of local homesteads like Arthur Ranch and Henton Ranch. Evidence of extractive industry is present at the Mines located west of the ditch. The map also records a Proposed Alignment for a new roadway cutting through the southern sections, marking a period of transition as infrastructure began to modernize this sparsely settled area of Fremont County.
