1968 Map of Chicken Creek SE

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Kinney Rim dominates the eastern horizon of this 1968 survey, forming a massive natural escarpment that defines the high desert drainage patterns of the Wyoming-Colorado borderlands. Below these bluffs, the landscape of southern Sweetwater Co, Wyoming, and northern Moffat Co, Colorado, is etched by Hells Canyon and the winding course of Alkali Creek. The map documents a period of active energy exploration across this arid terrain, marked by numerous Gas Wells and a Drill Hole scattered throughout the basins. A long Pipeline traverses the southern section, illustrating the industrial infrastructure required to move resources from this remote intersection of the two states. The intricate contouring reveals a complex system of draws and ridges typical of the Washakie Basin region before modern development further altered the surface landscape.
