2021 Map of Ox Yoke Springs

About this map

Ox Yoke Springs and Indian Spring are the defining landmarks in this high-desert reach of Sweetwater County. The landscape is dominated by the complex topography of the t24n r104w and t25n r104w townships, where steep-sided drainages and ridgelines converge. This area represents a characteristic portion of the Wyoming basins, where scattered water sources were essential to historical transit and livestock ranging. The grid system clearly delineates the vast, open tracts of land, with little evidence of permanent human settlement or modern development, preserving the remote character of the territory as it was mapped by the U.S. Geological Survey in the early twenty-first century.
