1969 Map of Long Draw

About this map

Elk Basin Oil Field dominates the southeastern quadrant of this Carbon County landscape, revealing an intensive network of Drill Holes, oil wells, and a prominent Pipeline that cuts north-south through the terrain. This industrial development is set against the drainage systems of Silver Tip Creek and Long Draw, where the topography reflects the complex water management required for the region. Evidence of irrigation and early water rights is visible in the northern reach with the Clarks Fork Silver Tip Ditch and View Ditch near Rocky Point. The map captures a moment of active resource extraction, specifically noting localized landmarks such as Higham Well and High Well, which serve as primary navigational and industrial points within the basin's arid draws and creek beds.
