1952 Map of Coyote Springs

About this map

Beaver Rim dominates the landscape of this mid-century Fremont County survey, acting as a prominent geological escarpment that separates the northern drainages from the southern basins. The terrain is defined by a sparse but essential network of water sources, including Coyote Springs, Wild Horse Springs, and Mud Springs, which would have been critical landmarks for ranchers and travelers in this high desert environment. To the south, the land levels out into the Agate Flats, a region marked by ephemeral features such as The Dry Lakes. Evidence of mid-century industrial exploration is present in the form of a solitary Oil Well (Dry) located near the rim. The map also detail a complex system of seasonal watercourses like Black Rock Draw and Muskrat Creek, illustrating the natural drainage patterns of this Wyoming rangeland before modern development significantly altered the rural landscape.
