1959 Map of Squaw Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Family legacies and early ranching history are etched into the landscape of south-central Wyoming on this sheet, where the Higginson Homestead and Eggleston Homestead sit tucked among the draws north of the Little Medicine Bow River. The terrain is defined by the sharp drop-off of the Dugway Rim, a significant geological barrier that separates the higher plateaus from the creek-fed valleys below. This area, spanning the borders of Natrona, Converse, Carbon, and Albany counties, reflects a remote pastoral economy dependent on scattered water sources like Squaw Spring and Texas Creek. Cultural landmarks such as the Little Medicine Sch and a local Cem indicate a once-active community hub serving isolated ranching families. The presence of the Casper Medicine Bow Road and a remote Landing Strip highlights the vital transportation links required to navigate this portion of the Medicine Bow National Forest during the mid-20th century.
