2012 Map of Onion Gulch

About this map

Moses Homestead and Tolman Homestead stand as markers of early 21st-century land use in this remote section of Washakie County. The map documents a landscape defined by seasonal ranching and rugged topography, where established outposts like Rice Cow Camp and Lyman Cow Camp support livestock operations across the High Plains. Drainage patterns are central to the area's geography, notably the Canyon Creek Sinks where surface water disappears into the subsurface, and numerous named springs such as Healy Springs and Beaird Spring provide essential water sources in an otherwise arid environment.
