1988 Map of Lost Creek Lake
USGS Topo · Published 1989About this map
Lost Creek Lake and the broad Lost Creek Basin dominate this high desert landscape within Sweetwater County. The terrain is defined by natural depressions and springs, including Mud Lake and Mud Springs in the northern reaches, alongside the seasonal drainage of Lost Creek. Human activity is evidenced by scattered industrial and surveying marks, such as a Red Creek Well, various Gas Wells, and a solitary Prospect near the eastern boundary. The presence of Eagles Nest Spring and the distinctive Caterpillar Butte suggest specific landmarks used for navigation in this open country. This 1980s-era revision of earlier surveys provides a clear view of the hydraulic and resource infrastructure in a region defined more by its geology than by permanent settlement.
