1951 Map of Crooks Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Crooks Mountain area reveals a mid-century landscape defined by energy exploration and high-desert drainage patterns. Mapped during the early 1950s, the terrain is dominated by the industrial infrastructure of the Crooks Gap Oil Field, where numerous Oil Wells and a network of Pipe Lines cut through the foothills of the Green Mountains. This intersection of natural resource extraction and geography is particularly evident near Happy Springs, where the topographic relief drops toward the drainage systems of Haypress Creek and Nancy Creek. Small water features like Boggy Springs Pond and Woods Gulch Pond punctuate an otherwise arid landscape, providing vital landmarks for surveyors and local ranchers. The presence of a long-distance Telephone Line traversing the eastern portion of the map indicates the early communication links necessary to support this remote industrial activity.
