1969 Map of Powder Wash

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Powder Wash Oil Field dominates this high-country landscape along the border of Wyoming and Colorado. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the map reveals an industrial network of resource extraction, characterized by numerous Oil Wells, a central Pumping Sta, and a Pipeline cutting across the terrain. Water sources are critical landmarks in this arid environment, represented by named locations such as West Dripping Rock Spring and Dins Hole Spring. Transport is limited to rugged tracks like the Jeep Trail and the steep incline of Beaver Slide. The physical geography is defined by a series of erosional features including Rock Draw, Eagle Draw, and the curiously named Ace in the Hole Draw. These draws converge toward Powder Wash, creating a complex drainage system that crosses the Sweetwater and Moffat County line.
