1952 Map of Rongis Reservoir SE

About this map

The Muskrat Oil Field anchors the northern reaches of this Wyoming landscape, where early energy exploration is marked by scattered oil wells and gas infrastructure. Surveyed just after the war, the terrain is defined by a complex drainage system feeding into the Missouri River Basin. Water management in this arid environment is evident through several small catchments, including Sherlock Reservoir, Barber Reservoir, and East Horseshoe Res. Historic transportation routes like the Old Lander Road and Casper Road cut through the drainage basins of Horseshoe Creek and its many forks. This 1950s record provides a clear view of the ranching and resource extraction economy before modern developments altered the local character of Fremont County. The network of named draws, such as Mahoney Draw and Murphy Draw, illustrates the natural irrigation patterns critical to the region's geography.
