1968 Map of Point Of Rocks SW

About this map

Salt Wells Creek and Black Butte Creek define the drainage patterns of this high desert landscape in Sweetwater County. The terrain is dominated by the massive profile of Black Butte, which anchors the eastern portion of the quadrangle. This 1960s landscape shows the early footprints of industrial development, with infrastructure ranging from a Radio Facility to a Gas Well and several drill holes scattered across the plateaus. The topography is characterized by steep escarpments and dry washes, where resource extraction is evidenced by a Gravel Pit. The map captures a moment when traditional land use in Wyoming's basins was being joined by modern energy and communication networks.
