1969 Map of Powder Wash

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Powder Wash and the surrounding high desert terrain define this landscape at the northern edge of Moffat County, where industrial development meets the arid canyons of the West. This 1969 field-checked survey highlights the early energy infrastructure of the region, marked by a Pumping Sta, numerous Oil Well sites, and a prominent Pipeline cutting across the drainages. The complex network of water features, such as West Dripping Rock Spring and Deep Hole Spring, indicates the vital importance of water sources in an area dominated by dry washes like Beaver Slide Draw and Ace in the Hole Draw. Straddling the state line between Colorado and Wyoming, the map captures a period of transition where remote resource extraction was establishing a permanent footprint in the rugged basin, evidenced by the scattered Drill Hole markers and the Gravel Pit near the southern boundary.
