2012 Map of Beauchamp Reservoir

About this map

The South Sage Spring Creek Oil Field occupies the northwest portion of this Wyoming landscape, illustrating the industrial footprint of energy extraction in Natrona County. This arid terrain is defined by its drainage patterns, most notably Cole Cr, which meanders through the central and eastern sections of the quadrangle. The network of local infrastructure is relatively sparse, anchored by thoroughfares like E Ormsby Rd and Co Rd-22. Topographical features such as Derrick Draw provide insight into the natural watershed that characterizes this part of the state. For those studying the evolution of land use, the map serves as a record of how remote oil fields and natural waterways interact within the high plains environment during the early twenty-first century.
