1957 Map of Red Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Beaver Rim dominates the landscape of this 1950s Wyoming survey, creating a dramatic escarpment that separates the high desert plateau from the drainage basins of Red Canyon and Cottonwood Creek. This portion of Fremont County is defined by its seasonal water sources and the historic tracks of the Oregon Trail, which cuts across the southeastern quadrant. The presence of ranching infrastructure, such as the Antelope Springs Reservoir and Jackson Reservoir, points to the long-standing importance of water management in this arid cattle country. Notable topographic landmarks include Butte 7300 and Pass 6958, while numerous drainage draws like Soap Hole Draw and Rocky Draw illustrate the erosional patterns of the local geology. Historians can trace the exact route of early pioneers as it coincides with the natural corridors provided by Little Antelope Creek and other nearby springs.
