1952 Map of Coyote Springs

About this map

Beaver Rim dominates this 1952 topographic study, marking a sharp geological divide in this portion of Fremont County. The map details a landscape defined by its scarce water sources, where early ranchers and travelers relied on sites like Coyote Springs, Wild Horse Springs, and Mud Springs. The drainage patterns are clearly etched into the terrain, showing Muskrat Creek and Coyote Creek winding toward the north, while the southern reaches descend into Agate Flats. Evidence of early industrial exploration is visible near the Diamond Springs Road with a recorded Oil Well (Dry), reflecting the mid-century search for resources in the Missouri River Basin. Topographic details reveal the unique depressions of The Dry Lakes and the branching network of Diamond Springs Draw, providing a precise look at the arid hydrology of the region during the early 1950s.
