2012 Map of Crooks Mountain

About this map

The Happy Springs Oil Field serves as a primary industrial landmark in this corner of Fremont County, where extraction infrastructure meets the drainage basins of the high plains. The landscape is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and drainages, most notably Cottonwood Cr and Nancy Cr, which flow through the draws surrounding Crooks Mountain. These waterways are supported by small catchments such as Boggy Springs Pond and Woods Gulch Pond, vital for land management in this arid environment. Transportation through this part of the Wyoming interior is largely limited to unpaved routes like Happy Springs Rd, reflecting a region dominated by resource management and ranching. The convergence of W Arapahoe Cr and E Arapahoe Cr in the southern portion further illustrates the intricate local hydrography of the Woods Gulch vicinity.
