1968 Map of Government Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Smoky Gap Oil Field anchors the landscape of this Wyoming quadrangle, where the border of Johnson County and Natrona County cuts through the northern terrain. This is a region defined by energy extraction and industrial resource management, evidenced by the intricate network of pipelines crossing the high country and several claypits located near Hay Draw. The topographic data, field-checked in 1968, reveals a rugged drainage system characterized by deep incisions like Eagle Canyon, Toy Canyon, and Long Canyon. Water management in this arid environment is highlighted by Twin Reservoir and a Gaging Station on Dugout Creek. From the heights of Tisdale Mountain to the southern reaches of Government Creek, the map provides a look at the infrastructure required to support mid-century oil and mineral operations in the American West.
