1968 Map of Clay Buttes

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Clay Buttes rises above a landscape defined by arroyos and energy exploration in the high desert of Sweetwater County. This 1968 field-checked survey documents a transition in land use where old transport routes like Stagecoach Draw intersect with a network of resource extraction. The map identifies several early industrial markers, including Chilton Well, Jensen Well, and several Flowing Wells, indicating the importance of groundwater and mineral rights in this arid territory. Drainage patterns are clearly delineated by the winding paths of Sixmile Draw and Jensen Wash, which carve through the basin. Large-scale earthmoving is evidenced by multiple Borrow Pits and Drill Holes scattered across the township, recording the physical footprint of mid-century infrastructure and energy development in Wyoming.
