1968 Map of Mud Springs Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Mud Springs Ranch serves as a lone human outpost in this high-desert landscape of south-central Wyoming, surveyed during the late 1960s. The geography is defined by the prominent Cooper Ridge, which divides the terrain and creates a dramatic backdrop for the winding Salt Wells Creek. The drainage patterns here are complex, with seasonal watercourses like Water Creek and Joyce Creek carving into the arid plateaus. A significant geological breach at Dans Gap provides a natural passage through the elevated landforms, while several drill holes scattered across the quadrangle point to the region's history of mineral and energy exploration. This survey captures a moment when the area remained largely defined by ranching and industrial survey, with few roads beyond the primary route of Highway 430.
