1969 Map of Powder Wash

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Powder Wash Oil and Gas Field defines the industrial footprint of this high-desert landscape on the border of Colorado and Wyoming. Industrial infrastructure is peppered throughout the terrain, marked by numerous Oil Wells, a network of pipelines, and a Pumping Sta. The topography is deeply incised by drainages with colorful local names like Ace in the Hole Draw and Eagle Rock Draw, while the Beaver Slide terrain feature drops toward the north. Water sources are critical points in this arid environment, represented by West Dripping Rock Spring and Dans Hole Spring. This 1969 field-checked survey illustrates the mid-century development of natural resources in Moffat County, showing how access roads and industrial sites were integrated into a landscape shaped by the Powder Wash and its North Fork.
