2012 Map of Tin Cup Mountain

About this map

Tin Cup Mountain and the surrounding high-altitude terrain define this 2012 survey of the Granite Mountains region in central Wyoming. The landscape is marked by prominent geological breaks such as Beaver Rim and Beaver Divide, which overlook a network of high-desert drainages and ranching operations. Human presence is concentrated around family-named landmarks and water sources, including the Givens Homestead and Long Creek Ranch. Resource extraction and water management are central to this area's history, evidenced by the Tin Cup Mine tucked near the mountain's base and several man-made catchments like the Daniel F Hudson Reservoir. The map illustrates the careful distribution of water in an arid environment, tracing the flow from Findlay Springs and Tin Cup Spring into the various forks of Tin Cup Cr and Long Cr.
