1968 Map of Fontenelle Reservoir SW

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Holden Hill dominates the northern landscape of this Lincoln County region, where the high desert terrain meets the waters of the Fontenelle Reservoir. This 1968 field survey, published by the Geological Survey and featuring underwater contours from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, highlights a pivotal corridor for Western migration and modern energy infrastructure. The historic Emigrant Trail traverses the northwest, passing near the isolated Holden Cem, a significant marker for genealogical research in this sparsely settled area. The map illustrates the 1960s-era development of the Green River valley, including the Fontenelle Recreation Area and a complex network of pipelines that cut across the draws and hollows. Drainage systems like Fontenelle Creek and Pomeroy Draw define the topography, illustrating the harsh but managed environment of Wyoming’s high plateau during the mid-20th century.
