1968 Map of Clay Buttes SE

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The dramatic escarpment of White Mountain dominates the landscape of Sweetwater County in this late 1960s survey. The map details a high-desert environment where drainage patterns like Alkali Creek and the deep incision of Killpecker Canyon define the topography east of the mountain's crest. Industrial activity is evident in the southeastern corner, where the U S Steel R R cuts across the basin near Fourteenmile Creek. This specialized rail line and the presence of several Borrow Pit excavations indicate the area's mid-century role in supporting regional mining and infrastructure. The map serves as a precise record of the transport corridors and geological features that shaped this portion of the Wyoming plateau during a period of industrial expansion.
