1969 Map of Sugar Loaf NE

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The arid high plains of Sublette County appear here as a landscape defined by water management and resource extraction in the late 1960s. The topography is dominated by the prominent Yellow Point Ridge in the southeast, while the rest of the quadrangle is etched by seasonal watercourses like Alkali Creek and Sand Draw. Man-made intervention is evident in the network of reservoirs and wells necessary for survival and industry in this dry environment, including Wardell Reservoir, Antelope Reservoir No 1, and the Luman Reservoir No 2. This survey also documents the primitive transportation network of the era, marked by a Jeep Trail and remote outposts like the Burma Road Well, reflecting a period when the region was primarily utilized for ranching and early energy exploration.
