1966 Map of High Point

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Continental Divide snakes across this high-altitude landscape in Carbon County, defining the hydrologic split of the American West. Mapped in the mid-1960s, this area is characterized by drainage patterns like Horse Pasture Draw and Standard Draw that underscore the arid, open-range character of the Wyoming high desert. The terrain is dominated by significant elevations such as High Point and the isolated rise of Sugarloaf, providing a detailed look at the land's natural contours before modern industrial shifts. Evidence of resource exploration is scattered throughout the region, indicated by several Drill Hole markers and a Prospect near Coal Bank. These technical labels, alongside water sources like Coal Bank Spring, reflect the vital importance of geology and limited water in the development of the Wyoming interior.
