1969 Map of Juel Spring

About this map

Big Sandy River meanders through the eastern edge of this high-desert landscape in the late 1960s, providing a vital water source in a region dominated by ephemeral drainages like Jonah Gulch. The terrain is characterized by the broad expanse of Sublettes Flat, which stretches across the southern portion of the quadrangle near the Sublette Co Sweetwater Co line. Human activity is sparse and primarily tied to livestock and resource extraction, evidenced by a Corral near the center of the map and a Gravel Pit further north. This period shows a Reliance on specific water points for range management, such as North Sublette Meadow Spring, Juel Spring, and the small Juel Reservoir, all connected by a network of unimproved tracks and a Jeep Trail.
