1968 Map of Bitter Creek NE

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Continental Divide snake through this high desert region of Sweetwater County, defining a landscape of energy extraction and transport during the late 1960s. Industrial activity is concentrated along the southern corridor, where the Oil Field and numerous Gas Wells meet a network of Pipelines. Infrastructure includes the Gas Plant and several remote water sources like Tenmile Well and Mud Lake Well, which were vital for supporting operations in this arid environment. Transportation is dominated by the parallel routes of Interstate 80 and Highway 30, which cut across the southern third of the sheet. The map reveals the complex intersection of natural topography and mid-century industrial development, where Radio Towers and a Gravel Pit stand alongside the seasonal watercourses of Tenmile Draw and Patrick Draw.
