1957 Map of Puddle Springs

About this map

Clay City Ruins and several isolated homesteads anchor this mid-century look at the high desert of Fremont County. The map documents a landscape of seasonal drainage and ranching infrastructure, where water is the primary driver of human presence. Settlements are sparse, represented by the Puddle Springs Ranch and the George Homestead, while signs of earlier habitation appear at the Ramsey Homestead and Sherlock Homestead, both noted as abandoned by this era.
