2017 Map of Wilson Spring

About this map

Wilson Spring and a series of high-desert water sources define this landscape in the eastern reaches of Park County. The terrain is deeply sculpted by seasonal drainages such as Fifteenmile Cr and Badger Cr, which have carved out distinct geological features like Rimrock Basin and Blackstone Gulch. Named springs, including the descriptively titled Baking Powder Springs and Parker Springs, suggest the importance of these rare water points for early ranching and transit through the Bighorn Basin. The map also documents local landmarks like Whistle Berry Hill and the curious Hole in the Ground, accessible via unpaved routes like Squaw Teats Rd. This 2017 survey reflects the enduring character of a region where topographic nomenclature remains tied to its utilitarian past.
