1953 Map of Gravel Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Gustin Homestead and Chapman Homestead stand as markers of early 20th-century settlement within this drainage-rich portion of Fremont County. Established as part of the Missouri River Basin development program, this survey details the complex hydraulic landscape of the area, where the Tweed Ditch diverts water across a terrain defined by the Red Canyon Rim and Commissary Hill. The topography is a network of named drainages, including the West Fork Cottonwood Creek and Stambaugh Creek, which feed into larger systems like Beaver Creek. The presence of several distinct water sources, such as Gravel Spring and Dilabaugh Spring, suggests the critical importance of reliable water for both livestock and the few homesteaders established in these high drainages. Several trails and routes are marked as (ABANDONED), indicating a shifting pattern of movement and land use during the mid-century era.
