1960 Map of Bull Springs

About this map

Bull Springs Rim and Coyote Springs Rim define the topographic character of this high desert landscape along the border of Sweetwater Co and Carbon Co. Prepared as part of the Department of the Interior's Missouri River Basin development program, the survey documents water management and resource exploration in this arid stretch of Wyoming. Key water features include the Upper Water Stewart Creek Reservoir and Lower Water Stewart Creek Reservoir, which appear alongside the namesake Bull Springs and Coyote Spring. A lonely Drill Hole and a high-tension Pipeline crossing the northern terrain hint at the industrial interest in the area's geology during the mid-century, even as the land remained largely unsettled ranchland.
