1960 Map of Separation Rim

About this map

Separation Rim and the Coyote Springs Rim define the topographic character of this Wyoming high-desert landscape. These prominent escarpments overlook the wide expanse of the Flats, creating a complex drainage system where ephemeral waterways like Bulls Creek and Separation Creek carve through the basin. This survey, based on 1957 aerial photography and field-checked in 1960, documents the early placement of a major Pipeline that traverses the eastern edge of the quadrangle. The hydrology is marked by isolated basins such as Soda Lake and Bull Spring Lake, which reflect the region's internal drainage patterns. A prominent landform, Separation Point, stands as a primary landmark along the rim, while the lower reaches show the path of Cold Spring Draw as it moves toward the southern plains.
