1954 Map of Stinking Spring Creek 1 NW

About this map

The Wickiup serves as a prominent landmark in this high-elevation desert landscape, surveyed in the early 1950s. The terrain is defined by a series of expansive plateaus and eroded drainages, including the broad Sagebrush Bench and the extensive Limestone Beach. Water management in this arid environment is evident through several small impoundments such as Sids Reservoir and Indian Flat Res, which likely supported livestock during this era. The nomenclature of the land—ranging from Oil Well Draw to Sids Cottonwood Draw—points to a history of ranching and early resource exploration. This preliminary edition provides a detailed view of the intricate drainage patterns, such as Reid Nelson Draw, before more modern infrastructure altered the primitive road network across the Sinbad region.
