1951 Map of Soap Holes

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Green Mountains dominate the southern portion of this Wyoming landscape, rising toward the peaks of Crooks Mountain in the southeast. This 1951 field check captures a high-desert environment defined by complex hydrology and early industrial exploration. The presence of an Oil Well (Aband) near the eastern boundary hints at the post-war energy prospecting that touched even the most secluded corners of Fremont County. To the north, the terrain flattens into the distinctive Soap Holes area, where drainage from Happy Springs and the slow-moving Ice Slough create a unique network of seasonal water features. This transition from high ridges to low alkali flats and creek bottoms like Haypress Creek illustrates the topographical variety of the Missouri River Basin development program during the mid-twentieth century.
