2012 Map of Ox Yoke Springs

About this map

Ox Yoke Springs and Indian Spring define the hydrological character of this high desert landscape in Sweetwater County. The 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a sparsely populated section of Wyoming where water sources are the primary named landmarks amidst a network of local roads and unimproved trails. This digital-era map reflects the Bureau of Land Management's oversight of the public land system, recording the essential springs that have likely served as vital stopovers for travelers and livestock in an otherwise arid basin. The lack of concentrated settlements or industrial developments emphasizes the region's enduring character as open range or resource land.
