1963 Map of Scrivner Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Horseshoe Basin dominates this landscape along the high border between Wyoming and Colorado, where the terrain is marked by the complex drainage of Vermillion Creek and its many tributaries. In the early 1960s, this remote area served as a focal point for both traditional ranching and emerging energy extraction. Named ranching outposts like the Rife Ranch, Scofield Ranch, and Graham Ranch are tucked into the drainages of Coyote Creek and Owl Canyon, illustrating the scattered settlement pattern of the high desert. The map captures the industrial footprint of the era through the Gas Field and the Canyon Creek Mine, alongside infrastructure like a major Pipeline and isolated features such as Canyon Creek Camp. Local landmarks like Scrivner Butte and Diamond Field provide specific geographical context for researchers tracing land use and family history in Sweetwater and Moffat counties.
