About this map

The Wind River Indian Reservation dominates this mid-century topographic study, which captures the complex geological and industrial character of Fremont County. To the north, the Owl Creek Mountains descend into the striking topography of Red Basin and Antelope Basin. The map documents a rugged landscape defined by seasonal watercourses like Dry Muddy Creek and the deep relief of Antelope Ridge.

Industrial development is focused in the southwest, where the Maverick Spring Oil Field and the structural prominence of the Maverick Spring Dome are clearly marked with an Oil Well. This survey provides a precise look at the drainage patterns of the high desert, including Sagwup Draw and the Bargee Reservoir, illustrating the intersection of natural resource extraction and tribal lands in the early 1950s.
