1970 Map of Mexican Flats

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Mexican Flats characterizes this high-altitude landscape in Carbon County, where a complex network of seasonal drainages such as Red Wash and Muddy Creek defines the local topography. This 1970 field-checked survey reveals an environment primarily used for grazing and resource extraction, anchored by the presence of the Pool Ranch in the northeast. Evidence of industrial activity is scattered across the terrain, from an Oil Well and multiple drill holes to a Gravel Pit near the eastern boundary. The intricate hydrological system is marked by features like Barrel Springs Draw, South Barrel Springs Draw, and Windmill Draw, which feed into the larger washes. Man-made infrastructure is limited but significant, including a prominent north-south Pipeline and the Twin Reservoirs situated near the southern edge of the quadrangle, illustrating how water and energy resources were managed in this arid region.
