1960 Map of Buck Draw

About this map

Mud Lake Flats dominates the central landscape of this high desert terrain in the Missouri River Basin. The topography is defined by broad, seasonally variable water features and expansive plains such as Separation Flats on the eastern margin. A notable industrial presence is indicated by a Pipeline cutting diagonally through the northern sections, tracing a path across the dry drainage of Buck Draw. Survey markers including VABM Hope 6948 and VABM Fence 6701 serve as critical reference points for this mid-century mapping project, which was field checked just before the 1960s. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundary between Sweetwater and Carbon counties, cutting through the eastern cluster of the Mahoney Lakes.
