About this map

Squaw Spring sits near the heart of this high-plains landscape, where the drainage network of the N Fork Little Medicine Bow River and the Little Medicine Bow River dictates the layout of local travel and settlement. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details a region defined by ranching and homesteading history, notably marking the Taylor Ranch along with the Higginson Homestead and Eggleston Homestead.

The terrain is articulated by the prominent Dugway Rim and a series of named waterways including Deer Cr, Texas Cr, and Curry Cr. The distribution of these family-named sites and reliable water sources provides a clear view of how high-altitude agriculture was organized in this part of Natrona County, with routes following the natural contours of Brennan Draw and the various creeks feeding the Medicine Bow system.
