1958 Map of Gas Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Uranium mining operations define the mid-century industrial landscape of the Gas Hills and Dutton Basin regions. This 1958 survey, later updated with aerial data through 1980, centers on the Lucky Mac Uranium Mill and the nearby Lucky Mac Camp, illustrating the specialized infrastructure of Wyoming's Cold War-era energy industry. A long Pipeline and multiple oil wells cut across the high desert terrain, which is bounded to the south by the prominent ridge of the Beaver Divide. The landscape is a network of arid drainage systems like Fraser Draw and West Canyon Creek, supported by man-made water features such as Medicine Springs Reservoir and Iron Springs Reservoir. The map also captures the essential transportation links for this isolated industrial hub, including a Landing Strip and the border between Fremont and Natrona counties.
