1960 Map of Chicken Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Chicken Spring and its surrounding high-desert terrain define this area of Sweetwater County, mapped as part of the Missouri River Basin development program. The landscape is primarily shaped by the drainage patterns of Spring Creek and Stewart Creek, which cut through the high plains. Human activity in this arid environment is centered on vital water sources and livestock management, as evidenced by the Hadsell Corral and North Well. The presence of these specific ranching landmarks suggests the map's value for tracing early land use and pastoral history in the Wyoming interior. This 1960 field-checked survey provides a precise look at the township and range lines that organized the territory, offering a clear record of the infrastructure used by ranchers and surveyors before modern development altered the remote corridor.
