About this map

The Green River flows through the northwestern corner of this landscape, its path punctuated by Long Island and the drainage of Cowdell Waste Water. This 1969 survey captures a rugged section of Wyoming where the high-desert plateau is deeply etched by a network of drainage systems, most notably the winding reaches of Figure Four Canyon and Bird Canyon. The map records a significant concentration of resource extraction markers, with numerous Drill Holes and Oil Wells scattered across the terrain, indicating the mid-century industrial activity in this part of the state.

Political and administrative boundaries are a defining characteristic of this sheet, as it marks the meeting point of several jurisdictions. The line between Sublette Co and Lincoln Co cuts across the southern portion, while the Lincoln Co and Sweetwater Co and Sublette Co and Sweetwater Co boundaries converge near Steed Canyon. These markings provide essential context for researchers tracing land use and mineral rights at the end of the 1960s.
