1952 Map of Coyote Springs

About this map

Beaver Divide dominates the central portion of this 1952 topographic study, forming a prominent geographic barrier between the drainage systems of northern Fremont County. To the south, the terrain descends toward the Granite Mountains and the expansive Agate Flats. The landscape is characterized by its reliance on scarce water sources, evidenced by named features such as Coyote Springs, Wild Horse Springs, and Mud Springs. Early energy exploration in this high desert environment is marked by an Oil Well (Dry) and the Diamond Springs Well (Dry), reflecting the difficult search for resources in the mid-century. Travel through this portion of the range was facilitated by established routes like Black Rock Road and the Diamond Springs Road, which navigated the complex topography near The Dry Lakes and the various draws feeding into Coyote Creek.
