1968 Map of Blue Forest

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Blue Forest defines the rugged topography of this Sweetwater County landscape, where deep drainage systems and high desert plateaus meet. The 1968 field-checked survey reveals an era of infrastructure development and resource management across the high plains. The Lincoln Sweetwater Road serves as the primary artery through the region, connecting remote points across the desert. Evidence of water management and industrial activity is visible in the placement of Little Colorado Well No 3 and Little Colorado Well No 4, alongside a designated Pit. The natural drainage of Buckhorn Canyon and Fourmile Gulch carves through the terrain, illustrating the erosional patterns characteristic of this part of Wyoming. These features together document the human imprint on a challenging environment during the late twentieth century.
