1960 Map of Fuller Reservoir

About this map

Dry Cheyenne Creek and its seasonal drainage network define the high-desert landscape of Fremont County during this mid-century period. Developed as part of a Missouri River Basin program, the area showcases a reliance on water management for ranching and resource extraction, with scattered impoundments like Allard Reservoir, Brody Reservoir, and Deadman Reservoir catching runoff across the arid plains. The presence of several Oil Wells and a Well near Fuller Reservoir suggests the active energy exploration common to this part of Wyoming. Transportation is limited to a few arterial routes such as Shoshoni Road and Nebo Road, which cut through the drainage of Muskrat Creek. This survey reflects the infrastructure of a working landscape where geodetic control points like Muskrat VABM Azimuth 5393 were essential for navigating and mapping the sparse interior.
