1960 Map of Manderson SE

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The Nowood River meanders through the southern portion of this landscape, supported by man-made irrigation infrastructure like the Shafer Ditch. This 1960 field survey reveals a terrain defined by extensive drainage systems and dry gulches, where the flatlands of Basin Flats meet the rising elevations of East Blue Ridge. The presence of several Oil Wells and a Drill Hole in the central and northern sections points to the region's mid-century energy exploration, while numerous bench marks such as BM 4138 and BM 4034 provide precise points for historic land surveying. Seasonal watercourses like Alkali Creek, Blue Fork, and Wild Horse Draw carve through the arid Wyoming geography, connected by a network of unimproved roads and a Jeep Trail that reflect the area's isolation and reliance on rugged transportation.
