1968 Map of Carbonera

About this map

The high plateau of Grassy Mountain dominates this 1960s landscape in Garfield County, a region defined by deeply incised drainage systems and energy exploration. Industrial activity is evident throughout the terrain, with numerous Gas Wells, a Drill Hole, and a Prospect scattered across the ridges and canyon floors. The map centers on the Carbonera (Site), located in the valley of West Salt Creek, reflecting a location where earlier activity had already transitioned into a more specialized industrial footprint. A network of unimproved roads and a Jeep Trail navigate the complex topography of South Canyon and Dry Wash Canyon, while infrastructure like the Pipeline and a Pumping Sta underscore the area's role in resource extraction during this era.
