1966 Map of Joe Emge Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Nowood River meanders through this portion of Washakie County, defining a landscape shaped by intermittent water management and high-desert drainage. Ranching infrastructure is prominent, evidenced by numerous named reservoirs such as Warner Reservoir, Flagstone Reservoir, and Bunning Reservoir. These water sources, along with features like Last Hope Reservoir and Right Angle Reservoir, suggest the critical importance of water rights and livestock grazing in the mid-1960s. Terrain features like Fiscus Gulch, Woods Gulch, and McClellan Gulch create a complex network of draws feeding into the larger river valley. Transportation at this time was limited to the unpaved Spring Creek Rd and various jeep trails, indicating a working landscape of ranching and exploration rather than residential development. A single Drill Hole and scattered gravel pits point to the localized extraction activities common in this part of Wyoming.
