1968 Map of Point Of Rocks SE

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The historical Overland Trail cuts across the northeastern corner of this landscape, following the path of the Union Pacific railroad alongside Bitter Creek. This 1968 survey reveals a terrain defined by the prominent Black Buttes ridge and the drainage of Black Butte Creek. The map documents the early stages of resource exploration in this part of Sweetwater County, with numerous labels for Drill Holes and Prospects scattered across the ridgelines and draws. These survey marks point to a transition in land use, where the legacy of nineteenth-century western migration routes meets the mid-twentieth-century industrial interest in the area's mineral potential.
