1961 Map of Lost Creek Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The high desert landscape of Fremont and Sweetwater Counties is defined by a sparse but essential network of water sources and mineral exploration. Scattered prospects indicate a history of small-scale mining activity, while the presence of Lost Creek Reservoir and a remote Landing Strip suggests the infrastructure required for land management and resource extraction in this arid region. The drainage patterns of East Alkali Creek and Lost Creek are punctuated by intermittent water sources like Chickens Springs and the sulfurous-named Stinking Springs. This 1961 field-checked survey preserves the layout of unimproved roads and survey lines that crisscross the sagebrush flats before modern development altered the remote character of the Red Desert area.
