1966 Map of Hiawatha

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Oil Field at Hiawatha serves as the focal point for this mid-1960s study of the high-desert borderland between Colorado and Wyoming. Infrastructure related to energy extraction is scattered across the landscape, including a Pumping Sta, several Oil Well sites, and a Drill Hole. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages such as Shell Creek, Vermillion Creek, and the aptly named Hells Canyon. Navigation through this dissected country is limited to an unpaved network, notably a remote Jeep Trail that crosses Dry Creek in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map clearly delineates the political boundary between Sweetwater County and Moffat County, illustrating how the industrial footprint of the oil field ignores state lines in favor of the underlying geology.
