1951 Map of Bear Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Demorst Ranch and Josendal Springs anchor the human presence in this high-plains landscape, where the boundary between Natrona and Carbon counties cuts across rugged drainage patterns. The topography is defined by the convergence of the North Fork and South Fork, which feed toward the Anda Reservoir. This era of development, mapped as part of the Department of the Interior program for the Missouri River Basin, reveals a network of vital water sources such as Bear Spring and McCune Springs that supported the ranching economy. Transportation is represented by the Kortes Road, winding through a terrain marked by distinctive features like The Ledge and the steep descent of Bear Spring Creek. The map provides a look at the mid-century infrastructure of central Wyoming, documenting the essential relationship between isolated homesteads and dependable water access.
