1960 Map of Fuller Reservoir

About this map

Fuller Reservoir and several smaller water catchments punctuate this arid landscape in Fremont County during the early 1960s. The terrain is defined by the drainage networks of Muskrat Creek in the northeast and the winding paths of Cheyenne Creek and Dry Cheyenne Creek to the west. This mapping, revised from 1951 surveys, illustrates a remote ranching and resource environment where water management was central to land use. Isolated Oil Well symbols indicate early energy exploration within these sections, while primitive transit is marked by the courses of Nebo Road and Shoshoni Road. The presence of Allard Reservoir, Brody Reservoir, and Deadman Reservoir suggests a concentrated effort to capture seasonal runoff in a region dominated by deep draws and dry washes.
