1968 Map of South Baxter

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

South Baxter serves as the primary landmark in this late-1960s survey of the high Wyoming desert, where industrial infrastructure meets a landscape of ephemeral drainages. The area is defined by its energy development, with numerous Gas Wells and Drill Holes scattered across the terrain, connected by a prominent Pipeline running north to south. Natural water sources are scarce but significant to the topography, including the Circle Springs and the seasonal flows of Pretty Water Creek, Burnt Canyon Creek, and Worm Creek. The drainage patterns, such as Circle Draw, illustrate the complex erosion of this arid region. This map provides a detailed look at the Sweetwater County landscape during a period of active resource exploration, documenting the specific locations of energy extraction points and the vital springs that supported livestock and early travelers in an otherwise dry environment.
