1992 Map of Rex Lake

About this map

Centennial Valley anchors this high-altitude landscape in the early 1990s, where the western foothills of Sheep Mountain descend toward the Little Laramie River. The map captures an area defined by irrigation and resource extraction, specifically the Rex Lake Oil Field surrounding the waters of Rex Lake. A complex network of water management features, such as Bellamy Ditch, Adams Ditch, and Dominic DITCH, indicates a valley floor engineered for livestock or agriculture. The northern edge of the sheet transitions into the Medicine Bow National Forest, rising toward Bald Mtn and Corner Mtn. The Union Pacific rail line cuts across the terrain, serving as a primary corridor through this sparsely populated stretch of Wyoming. Numerous Gravel Pits and Prospects scattered near the Forest Boundary reflect the local geological utility and history of mineral exploration.
