1961 Map of Dead Woman Crossing

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The namesake Dead Woman Crossing serves as a focal point for this landscape in the early 1960s, where the high plains of Wyoming meet an active energy frontier. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of intermittent waterways including Salt Creek, Meadow Creek, and the long Dugout Gulch. Industrial development is evident across the northern half of the sheet, defined by the extensive West Sussex Dugout Oil Field and the Sussex Oil Field. Scattered throughout these fields are numerous Oil Wells and Drill Holes, showing the intensive extraction efforts of the era.
