2017 Map of Bear Spring

About this map

Bear Spring and the surrounding drainage of Bear Spring Cr characterize this portion of Wyoming at the county line between Natrona and Carbon counties. The landscape is defined by its arid hydrology, where isolated water sources such as Rattlesnake Springs, Horse Spring, McCune Springs, and Rosendal Springs provided critical resources for the cattle ranching and livestock operations that historically utilized this high desert terrain. Local management of these scarce water resources is evident in the presence of the Anda Reservoir and the network of drainages including N Fork Canyon Cr and Sand Draw. Established routes like Cottonwood Rd and Kortes Rd serve as the primary conduits through the townships, while Pedro Mountain Ranch Rd indicates the localized significance of ranching estates in this region.
