2012 Map of Big Piney West

About this map

Plainview Cem serves as a quiet landmark in this high-desert landscape, located just north of the meandering S Piney Cr. The area is defined by a series of parallel watercourses including N Piney Cr, Middle Piney Cr, and N Channel Middle Piney Cr, which cut through the sagebrush-rich terrain of western Wyoming. Resource extraction and cattle ranching shape the local economy, evidenced by the East Star Corral Oil Field and various reservoirs such as Sixty-Seven Reservoir. Local family names are etched into the geography through features like D B Budd Butte and McNinch Wash, alongside numerous local roads like Bill Budd Rd and Mickelson Ln. These labels reflect a history of settlement tied closely to the available water and the sparse, open range land west of Big Piney.
