2021 Map of Happy Spring

About this map

Emigrant Trl and the Continental Divide National Scenic Trl converge in this high-altitude landscape in Fremont County, representing two distinct eras of overland travel. The terrain is defined by the drainage basins of Warm Springs Cr and Happy Spring Cr, which carve through a network of mesas and draws. Significant topographic features like Bull Canyon and Coyote Gulch reveal the geological character of the region. This 2021 survey also details the hydrological network surrounding Coyote Lake, including the various branches of Alkali Cr, W Alkali Cr, and E Alkali Cr. The presence of the Bison Basin Rd provides the primary modern access through this sparsely developed section of Wyoming, where surveyors have carefully recorded the legacy of historic trails alongside contemporary natural resource management data.
