About this map

Bogie Draw and its complex drainage system define this landscape in the northern reaches of Campbell County. In the early 1970s, the area's agricultural and industrial character is evident through the presence of the Napier Ranch and a network of unimproved roads like Napier Road. The terrain is marked by essential water management features required for ranching in an arid environment, including Bogie Res and Dead Horse Reservoir No 2.

Energy extraction and infrastructure are central to the region’s development, with multiple Oil Wells and Drill Holes scattered across the township lines. A lonely Landing Strip and several Flowing Wells along Beaver Creek indicate the practical logistical needs of these remote operations. This survey provides a precise look at the land use and hydrology of the Wyoming plains during a period of active resource exploration.
