About this map

Chokecherry Knob and Sheep Mountain anchor this high-desert landscape in central Wyoming, providing a detailed record of the resource exploration and communications infrastructure during the early 1980s. The presence of numerous Drill Holes scattered across the terrain, particularly near Smith Draw and Hugus Draw, points to a period of active geological prospecting.

Industrial activity is further evidenced by a large Quarry and additional Quarries located in the northern reaches, while Radio Towers atop the peaks indicate the region's importance for regional connectivity. The map also delineates natural landmarks and water sources vital to the area, such as Fivemile Ridge, Wild Horse Canyon, and various unnamed Springs that define the drainage patterns of this arid environment.
