1951 Map of Crooks Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Happy Springs Oil Field and the Crooks Gap Oil Field dominate this mid-century survey of the Wyoming high desert, reflecting the intensive energy development in Fremont County during the post-war era. The landscape is defined by the high ridge of Crooks Mountain, where numerous Oil Wells and a complex network of infrastructure, including a Pipe Line and a dedicated Telephone Line, intersect the natural drainages of Haypress Creek and Nancy Creek. For the researcher, the map reveals the industrial footprint of the petroleum boom, showing how roads and facilities were carved into the terrain surrounding Boggy Springs Pond and Woods Gulch Pond. This 1951 record captures the specific moment when exploration was reshaping the Missouri River Basin's resource frontier.
