2012 Map of Eagle Pass

About this map

Coal Mine Gulch anchors the western side of this Park County landscape, a name that points to the early mining activity that once marked this high prairie. The terrain is defined by the intermittent drainage of N Fork Dry Cr and Dry Cr, showcasing a classic Wyoming drainage pattern where seasonal water shaped the land's utility for ranching and extraction. Roads like Yu Bench Rd and 31K Rd provide the primary access through this open country, following the natural contours of the benchlands. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures a space where the industrial history of the gulch and the functional routes of modern transport coexist across the arid terrain.
