1963 Map of Potter Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The high desert landscape of Sweetwater County is dominated by the massive profile of Potter Mountain and the steep escarpment of Rifes Rim in this 1963 survey. This arid environment required significant water management for ranching and resource extraction, evidenced by the distribution of remote water sources like Laney Spring, Jim Washum Spring, and the Potter Mountain Reservoir. The Pio Moses Ranch stands as a focal point of human activity in the northern portion of the map, situated near the Pio Reservoir and Pio Spring. Industrial development is noted through several scattered Gas Wells and Drill Holes, suggesting early energy exploration across the drainage basins of Dry Canyon and Brooks Draw.
