1970 Map of Big Piney East

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Big Piney and Marbleton serve as the primary hubs in this Sublette County landscape during the early 1970s. The map illustrates a complex water management system essential for high-desert agriculture, featuring an extensive network of irrigation works like the Highline Canal, Sage Ditch, and Tarter Ditch. A notable historical layer is the presence of the Emigrant Trail (Lander Cutoff), which cuts diagonally across the township lines, tracing the path of nineteenth-century wagon travel through the basin. Along the Green River, a Ferry and the Three Bridges crossing near Island highlight the critical transit points for crossing the waterway. The area's mid-century economic activities are reflected in features such as the Big Piney Municipal Airport, the Fairground, and various resource markers like Meadow Canyon Well No 1 and a Gravel Pit.
