1986 Map of Boars Tusk SW

About this map

Killpecker Creek winds through the high desert of the Wyoming basin, anchoring a landscape defined by dramatic geological formations and essential industrial infrastructure. This 1986 survey records a territory where natural drainage systems like Long Canyon and Crooked Canyon cut through the arid terrain, leading toward the Baxter Basin in the southeast. Human activity is marked by a persistent Trans Line and a dedicated Gravel Pit, signaling the extraction and utility networks supporting the region's energy and transportation sectors. The presence of Dry Lake and features like Prospect reflect the seasonal and speculative nature of the Wyoming landscape, where water is ephemeral and the terrain is closely mapped for its mineral and topographical value during the late twentieth century.
