1970 Map of J O Dugway

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this high-elevation landscape of Sweetwater County, Wyoming, as mapped in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The terrain is dominated by the sharp escarpment of the Delaney Rim, which cuts diagonally across the southern half of the sheet, dropping into the drainage basins of Red Wash and Laney Wash. This environment shows a clear pattern of water-dependent landmarks, including Delaney Spring and J O Spring, which were vital waypoints in this arid region. Near the northern edge of the map, the industrial presence of the Union Pacific railroad and an east-west Pipeline highlight the corridor's role as a major transportation and energy artery. The presence of J O Dugway along the rim indicates an established route for navigating the steep elevation changes between the plains and the higher tablelands.
