1981 Map of Rush Hall Reservoir

About this map

The energy economy of Fallon County defines this landscape in the early 1980s, marked by a dense network of extraction sites across the Monarch Oil Field and Cupton Field. Dozens of individual Oil Wells and Gas Wells are scattered throughout the territory, illustrating the intensive industrial development of the era. This resource extraction is integrated into a terrain drained by the Middle Fork Cabin Creek and Cabin Creek, which flow through a series of complex draws. Water management for the region's ranching or industrial needs is anchored by the Rush Hall Reservoir in the northeastern section, while various isolated Springs provide critical water points across the higher elevations of the R 58 E and R 59 E ranges.
