1962 Map of Muddy Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Ferris Mountains and the Red Hills dominate this high-desert landscape in central Wyoming, providing a topographic backdrop to the critical water sources and ranching outposts of the early 1960s. The convergence of Muddy Creek and Whiskey Creek near Three Forks highlights the region's historical reliance on seasonal drainages, further evidenced by the infrastructure of Hays Ditch and the Hanna Mahoney Reservoir No 2. This survey preserves the locations of isolated desert residences including the George Tully Homestead and the Sharp 47 Ranch, alongside the remote crossroads of Muddy Gap Junction. The map also traces a significant pipeline and several jeep trails that navigated the gaps and canyons, illustrating the era's balance of traditional ranching and modern resource development.
