1970 Map of Gwendolen

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Gwendolen stands as a rail-dependent settlement along the Union Pacific line in this 1970 survey of Gilliam County. The landscape is defined by the high plateaus of Wester Butte and Bulls Eye Butte, cut through by deep drainage systems like Johnson Canyon and Hay Fork Hollow. Agricultural infrastructure is prominent, including a Grain Elevator at the tracks and the Wells Pumping Station near City Farm. The presence of the Johnson Landing Strip and a complex network of Roads and Jeep Trails suggests a remote ranching economy reliant on these lifelines. Numerous mapped springs and cisterns reveal the critical importance of water management in this high-desert environment, where the Dry Fork Hay Creek and other seasonal washes carve the terrain.
