2012 Map of Turk Springs

About this map

S Fork Red Fork Powder River flows through this corner of Washakie County, defining a landscape shaped by significant water sources and upland grazing. The presence of Turk Springs, Carr Spring, and Rowan Spring indicates the critical importance of reliable water in this part of Wyoming, supporting the pastoral economy evident at Bachaus Pasture. Transportation through the area is limited to rural routes like Barnum Mountain Rd and Bachus Pasture Rd, which trace the drainage patterns of Beaver Cr and Blue Cr. This survey illustrates the remote character of the region, where named landmarks are primarily natural features or related to the long-standing ranching traditions of the Powder River basin.
