1969 Map of Fontenelle SE

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Opal Bench and Chrisman Bench define the high desert topography of this region along the border of Lincoln and Sweetwater Counties. In the late 1960s, the landscape was largely defined by resource extraction and water management, evidenced by the presence of a Gas Well, a Drill Hole, and a long Pipeline cutting across the southwestern corner. These industrial marks sit atop a complex network of dry washes and drainage basins, most notably Whiskey Basin and the winding Sevenmile Wash. To the south, the South Fork Shute Creek drains eastward, illustrating the sparse but critical drainage patterns of the Wyoming basin. This survey provides a precise look at the section lines and surveying markers that governed land use during a period of active energy exploration in the high plains.
