1951 Map of Bucklin Reservoirs

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The California Emigrant Trail cuts through the high desert of Wyoming, tracing a path south of the winding Sweetwater River. This survey, compiled from 1950s data with later revisions, shows a landscape defined by ranching and essential water management. Family-named outposts like Cross L Ranch and Crane Ranch sit near the river's path, while the southern reaches are dominated by the Bucklin Reservoirs. The presence of numerous Windmills across the territory between Rawlins Draw and Muddy Creek highlights the critical role of groundwater for livestock in this arid region. Near the north-central border, the Y Z Ditch (Abandoned) serves as a silent record of earlier irrigation attempts along the riverbanks, contrasted by the active Soda Lake and Crane Reservoir.
