1965 Map of Black Knoll

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Sand Dunes dominate this high-desert landscape in Fremont County, where complex topographical contours reveal the shifting geomorphology of the region during the mid-1960s. The prominent rising landform of Black Knoll serves as a stationary landmark amidst the sea of dunes that stretch across the central and western portions of the quadrangle. In this arid environment, human presence is sparse and strictly functional, evidenced by the intermittent channel of Sand Creek and a solitary Well located in the northern flats. The map reflects a moment in time before modern irrigation or development significantly altered the drainage patterns of these semi-arid lands, showing a primitive road network that largely skirts the most significant dune fields and highlights the isolation of this corner of eastern Idaho.
