1961 Map of Osborne Well

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The high desert terrain of Sweetwater County is defined here by a series of significant drainages and water-management sites during the early 1960s. The landscape is carved by Osborne Draw and Eagles Nest Draw, which provide natural corridors through the varied elevations. Human impact in this arid environment is evident in the presence of Osborne Well and the Crooked Well Reservoir, critical infrastructure for livestock or resource extraction in the Red Desert region. Evidence of geological exploration is scattered across the quadrangle, notably marked by several Prospects and a Drill hole. The map illustrates the specialized infrastructure required for survival and industry in a territory dominated by Battle Spring Draw and Stratton Draw, where water sources are often seasonal or engineered.
