1986 Map of Bob Jack Well

About this map

The Honeycomb Buttes dominate the northeastern corner of this Sweetwater County landscape, transitioning into a vast network of drainage basins and ephemeral water sources. The namesake Bob Jack Well is located in the southeastern quadrant, representing a critical water point for ranching operations in this arid region of the state. The terrain is defined by the convergence of the North Fork Bear Creek and the main channel of Bear Creek, which meander through a series of draws including the Little Bar X Draw. An isolated Landing Strip near the southern boundary suggests the reliance on light aircraft for transport and land management during the mid-1980s. The map further documents numerous Springs and seasonal features like Dry Lake and Bush Creek, providing a detailed record of water resources and topography before significant modern developments.
