About this map

Wildcat Butte and the surrounding high plains of Uinta and Sweetwater Counties reveal an industrial landscape shaped by energy extraction during the mid-1960s. The presence of a Refinery near the intersection of Church Butte Road and Mud Spring Road highlights the area's role as a processing hub, supported by a network of infrastructure including a pipeline and numerous extraction sites like Gas Well 6828 and Gas Well 6918.

Social and logistical points such as Church Butte Camp and the scattered Roadside Parks along the main highway corridors provide context for the workforce and travelers moving through this arid terrain. Natural drainage features, including Meadow Springs Wash, Chicken Draw, and Blumel Draw, cut through the topography, leading toward landmarks like Carter Spring. This survey captures the transition of the Wyoming basin from raw cattle range into a modern industrial corridor.
