1968 Map of Lion Bluffs

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Quaking Asp Mountain dominates the western skyline of this survey, rising sharply above the plateau of south-central Wyoming. The landscape is defined by the high-elevation breaks of the Lion Bluffs and the distinctive formations of Chimney Rock and Table Mountain. In the late 1960s, this area of Sweetwater County was a focal point for resource extraction, evidenced by numerous Gas Wells, Drill Holes, and a Prospect scattered across the high ridges and deep drainages. Between the industrial footprints, the map captures a network of spring-fed waters such as Snow Spring Creek and Pine Spring, alongside public spaces like the Dotrence Recreation Park and Three Patches Picnic Area. The intricate contour work illustrates the complex drainages of Blair Canyon and Antelope Draw, revealing a terrain shaped by both geologic erosion and the energy demands of the mid-twentieth century.
