1952 Map of Muskrat Basin

About this map

Beaver Divide dominates this mid-century topographic study, forming a prominent geological break that separates the Muskrat Basin from the surrounding high desert drainage. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of erosional features, including the sprawling headwaters of Buffalo Creek and Muskrat Creek, as well as numerous seasonal drainages like Cottonwood Draw and Horseshoe Draw. These natural corridors dictate the layout of early ranching infrastructure in this part of Fremont County.
