2012 Map of Wilson Spring

About this map

John Miller Ranch and several isolated outposts define the human footprint in this corner of Park County, Wyoming. The landscape is primarily shaped by the drainage systems of Fifteenmile Cr and Badger Cr, which carve through the Badger Creek Basin and Rimrock Basin. Water sources were critical to the livestock and ranching operations of the era, as evidenced by the distribution of Wilson Spring, Sand Spring, and the uniquely named Baking Powder Springs. Scattered dwellings like the Nohr Cabin, Kennison Cabin, and Joe Miller Cabin are linked by limited roads such as Squaw Teats Rd, reflecting the sparse, high-plains ranching culture of northern Wyoming. The geography transitions from open basins to distinct landforms like Whistle Berry Hill and the narrow Parker Spring Gulch in the eastern reaches.
