2017 Map of Elkhorn Springs

About this map

Beaver Rim and the northern reaches of the Granite Mountains define this high-altitude landscape in Fremont County. The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes, particularly around Long Creek Mtn and the various drainage basins like Cedar Rim Draw and Koehler Draw. Water is a critical resource in this arid environment, represented by the namesake Elkhorn Springs, Findlay Lake, and the intermittent flow of the W Fork Long Cr. Settlement is sparse, characterized by long-established livestock operations such as Myers Ranch and Graham Ranch, which serve as the primary human landmarks in this vast expanse of open range. The map illustrates the specialized land-use patterns common to the Wyoming interior, where life and commerce revolve around these scattered water sources and topographical features.
