About this map

Big Sand Draw Oil and Gas Field dominates the southern landscape of this 1958 survey, illustrating the intensive energy development in Fremont County. The settlement of Sand Draw serves as a central hub for these operations, featuring a Po and a nearby Airfield to support the local industry. This industrial character is further emphasized by the Sand Draw Coal Mine and a Gravel Pit located to the west.

Beyond the industrial core, the terrain is defined by complex drainage systems including Big Sand Draw, Little Sand Draw, and Carter Draw. These seasonal waterways carve through high points like Mc Turk Ridge and the Alkali Butte Unit. Scattered resources like Carlson Spring provide a glimpse into the traditional water sources utilized before the expansion of the Pipeline and Telephone Line networks that now crisscross the region.
