1968 Map of Simpson Gulch SW

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Industrial exploration of the arid High Desert characterizes this survey of the Simpson Gulch SW quadrangle. Situated in Sweetwater County, the terrain is defined by its isolation and the systematic mapping of subsurface resources during the late 1960s. The landscape is dotted with evidence of energy exploration, most notably marked by the Little Colorado Well No 11 and Little Colorado Well No 12. These specific sites, along with a solitary Drill Hole, indicate a period of intense geological investigation into the oil and gas potential of the region. The map meticulously records the township and range lines, including the transition between T. 25 N. T. 24 N. and T. 24 N. T. 23 N., which served as the primary framework for land claims and mineral rights in this remote corner of Wyoming.
