1960 Map of Chicken Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Chicken Spring and its surrounding high-plains terrain dominate this landscape in Sweetwater County, documented during the 1960s with revisions made in the early 1980s. The area is defined by seasonal watercourses and the infrastructure of ranching, most notably the Hadsell Corral located near the southern edge of the sheet. The drainage patterns of Spring Creek and Stewart Creek illustrate the typical hydrology of the Wyoming desert, where water sources were critical for both livestock and early travelers. This map captures a moment in the mid-20th century before significant industrial development, showing only a lone Well and primitive trails through the sagebrush-covered hills. The topography reveals the subtle shifts in elevation across the Great Divide Basin, a region where internal drainage and remote outposts like the corral were the primary markers of human activity.
