1953 Map of Rawlins NW

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Haystack Mountains dominate the eastern reaches of this Wyoming landscape, rising sharply above a vast low-lying Depression to the west. This mid-century survey, based on 1949 aerial photography and 1980 updates, captures a high-desert environment defined by its drainage basins and industrial infrastructure. The presence of Meadow Station 4 (Abandoned) and multiple Pipe Lines suggests the area's role in supporting regional energy or transportation networks during the post-war era. Water features such as Separation Lake and Dry Lake provide critical reference points for this high-altitude basin, where the peak of VABM Wildhorse 7852 stands as the highest elevation in the southeastern corner, overlooking the complex topography of the Continental Divide region.
