1953 Map of Elkhorn Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Beaver Rim and the Granite Mountains define the high-desert character of this Fremont County landscape during the early 1950s. The area was mapped as part of a Department of the Interior program focused on developing the Missouri River Basin, revealing a transition from open grazing land to early industrial exploration. Modern infrastructure is evident in the presence of a Pipe Line and a prominent Gas Well located south of Findlay Lake. This period of topographic surveying caught the region just as resource extraction began to overlay the older natural hydrology of the West Fork and Long Creek drainage systems. Isolated landmarks like Elkhorn Springs provided vital water points for cattle and wildlife in an otherwise arid expanse marked by the sharp topography of Cedar Rim Draw.
