1968 Map of Sand Butte Rim NW

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Sand Butte Rim and Sixmile Rim dominate this high desert landscape in Sweetwater County, where the topography is defined by dramatic escarpments and intermittent watercourses. The 1968 survey reveals a terrain shaped by the search for natural resources, evidenced by scattered Drill Holes that signal subsurface exploration during the mid-20th century energy boom. The drainage network, including Patrick Draw, Sand Wash, and Long Draw, dictates the movement across this arid expanse. This edition is particularly valuable for its 1976 revisions, shown in purple, which track changes in infrastructure and land use nearly a decade after the original photogrammetric mapping. These updates provide a rare point of comparison for researchers studying the evolving footprint of industry in the Wyoming basins.
