About this map

Duck Creek Breaks define the northeast corner of this Campbell County landscape, where the high plains begin their descent into a network of seasonal watercourses. The early 1970s land use is characterized by an emerging energy infrastructure, evidenced by numerous drill holes and oil wells scattered throughout the territory. These industrial markers sit alongside established ranching features like the pipeline and several flowing wells that provide vital water in this arid environment. Drainage patterns are dominated by the South Fork Duck Creek and West Fork Duck Creek, which converge among the breaks, while the southern portion of the quadrangle is etched by Wild Horse Creek and the long expanse of Anderson Draw. This survey captures a moment when traditional grazing lands were increasingly being surveyed for their subsurface mineral potential.
