1952 Map of Ervay Basin

About this map

The high desert landscape of central Wyoming is documented here through a focus on the Ervay Basin, a region defined by scattered springs and significant topographic relief. Ranching and early aviation infrastructure characterize the settlement pattern, as seen with the JE Ranch, the adjacent JE School, and a remote Landing Strip to the southwest. The presence of JE Sulphur Spring and Collins Spring highlights the critical importance of water sources in this arid terrain, while the Pipeline crossing the eastern sections indicates the industrial development that arrived alongside traditional land uses.
