About this map

The Lost Soldier Oil Field and Wertz Oil Field dominate this portion of the Red Desert, illustrating the industrial footprint of energy extraction in south-central Wyoming. The town of Bairoil serves as the hub for these operations, with residential and support infrastructure evidenced by South Camp and Wertz Camp. Local street names like Bitterroot Dr and Indian Paintbrush Ave reflect the native flora of this high-desert environment.

Water management is essential for both human habitation and industrial needs in this arid landscape, as shown by a network of drainage systems and catchments. Significant water bodies include White Water Reservoir, Lost Soldier Reservoir, and Iron Springs Reservoir. These are fed by intermittent waterways such as Stewart Cr, Lost Soldier Cr, and Iron Springs Cr, which cut through the terrain to sustain the isolated oil-producing outposts.
