Tim McCoy’s ranch was in Wyoming’s Owl Creek region in Hot Springs County, near Thermopolis; he reportedly ranched there for about 30 years and maintained a large working ranch until the mid-1940s.

Where that is

The Owl Creek region is in north-central Wyoming, west of Thermopolis. That lines up with the historical accounts tying McCoy closely to Hot Springs County rather than a ranch in a different part of the state.

Why the location varies

Some short biographies only say he “had a ranch in Wyoming,” while local Wyoming history sources are more specific about the Owl Creek/Eagles Nest area. In other words, the broad answer is Wyoming, but the more precise answer is Owl Creek near Thermopolis.

Quick note

If you’re asking because of a film or historical property reference, the most useful place name to search is Owl Creek or Eagles Nest in Hot Springs County.
