1979 Map of Kemmerer
USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
Fossil Butte National Monument anchors the high desert landscape of Lincoln County, revealing the paleontological and geological layers of the Green River Formation. This 1979 survey captures the regional energy and transportation nexus centered on the mining town of Kemmerer and neighboring Diamondville. The industrial footprint of the Elkol Strip Mine is prominently marked against the Cumberland Flats, while the Union Pacific railroad tracks and Us 30 facilitate movement through the mountain gaps. From the narrow settlements of Frontier and Sage to the wide drainages of the Bear River and Hams Fork, the map illustrates a landscape defined by sharp ridges like Commissary Ridge and the vital water resources required for development in the Wyoming high country.
