1968 Map of Chicken Creek SW

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The high desert landscape straddling the Wyoming and Colorado state line is defined by the sharp transition between the northern plateaus and the deep drainage basins to the south. Vermillion Creek and its tributary, Alkali Creek, carve intricate canyon systems through the terrain, joined by the distinctive Horseshoe Wash in the southern portion of the quadrangle. This mid-century survey reveals a territory primarily utilized for resource extraction, evidenced by the numerous Gas Wells and scattered Drill Holes dotting the ridges. A major Pipeline cuts across the center of the sheet, illustrating the industrial infrastructure developed to transport energy resources from this remote borderland at the edge of Sweetwater and Moffat Counties.
