About this map

Kyle Oil Camp and its associated industrial activity define this pocket of Carbon County in the early 1970s. The landscape is marked by a complex network of resource extraction and transport, including multiple Drill Holes, a long-distance Pipeline, and a Landing Strip situated near the southeastern corner of the map. The influence of earlier infrastructure is visible in the Old RR Grade that cuts across the northern terrain alongside Carbon Creek.

Surface water is sparse, primarily concentrated in intermittent drainages like First Sand Creek, Second Sand Creek, and Third Sand Creek, alongside the small Smith Res near the northern boundary. Prominent topographic features such as Halfway Hill and Spade Flats provide a framework for the rugged western landscape, while numerous Jeep Trails snake through Chapman Draw to connect remote drill sites.
