1973 Map of Fremont Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Fremont Butte rises above this section of the High Plains, providing a prominent landmark in an otherwise subtly undulating landscape defined by agricultural and industrial development. The small settlement of Xenia sits along the Burlington Northern railroad line, which cuts horizontally across the lower third of the quadrangle. This era of the Washington County plains is characterized by significant natural resource extraction, as evidenced by the widespread presence of an Oil field and numerous scattered Oil Wells, Oil Wells, and exploratory Drill Holes. Water management is critical in this arid region, highlighted by the Twenty-two Aqueduct and several isolated wells and springs. The presence of Gravel Pits and Radio Towers further illustrates the modern infrastructure supporting this rural economy in the early 1970s.
