1989 Map of Lost Creek Butte SW

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Red Desert Basin topography defines this high-altitude landscape in the late 1980s, revealing a terrain shaped by drainage and industrial extraction. The map detail highlights the sparse infrastructure characteristic of this part of Wyoming, where the primary thoroughfare is the Red Desert Road. Scattered throughout the basin are essential water points marked simply as Well, indicating the critical nature of water management in this arid environment. Evidence of mineral exploration or mining activity is noted by the presence of a Gw label, likely representing a groundwater or geochemical site used by surveyors during the field check in the 1980s. This survey serves as a record of the remote landscape before modern developments, tracing the exact section lines and benchmarks that structured land use in the Red Desert.
