1970 Map of Bitter Creek Well

About this map

Bitter Creek Well (Flowing) and the high desert terrain of the Utah-Colorado border define this 1970 landscape, where resource extraction and transportation corridors intersect. The map documents an era of infrastructure development across the arid borderlands, featuring a prominent Pipeline and numerous Drill Holes scattered across the northern washes. This industrial activity contrasts with the older transit history represented by the Old Railroad Grade and the active Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad winding through the southern canyonlands.
