1958 Map of Gas Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Gas Hills and the striking ascent of the Beaver Rim define this central Wyoming landscape during the mid-century uranium boom. This 1958 revision documents the industrial footprint of the era, centered on the Lucky Mac Uranium Mill and the adjacent residential Lucky Mac Camp. The terrain is characterized by a series of high basins and drainage draws, including Dutton Basin and Fraser Draw, which are marked by numerous oil wells and extensive mine dumps. Water management in this arid environment is evident through a network of small catchments such as Medicine Springs Reservoir and Canyon Creek Reservoir. Straddling the border of Fremont and Natrona Counties, the map reveals a remote working landscape where mining infrastructure and specialized landing strips coexist with traditional landmarks like Sarcophagus Butte.
