1972 Map of Brislawn School

About this map

Campbell and Crook County border lands are defined by a high-plains landscape of erosion and industry in the early 1970s. The northern reaches are shaped by the Duck Creek Breaks and the waters of Edgerton Reservoir, while the southern terrain is marked by the branching drainages of Prairie Creek and its Short Prong. The map captures a transition in land use, where traditional ranching landmarks like Heald and Bertha sit alongside a modern network of pipelines and numerous exploratory drill holes. A concentration of gravel extraction and resource survey points highlights the mid-century industrial expansion into this rural landscape. The namesake Brislawn Sch serves as a primary local landmark in the southeastern corner, anchoring a region otherwise dominated by long, winding coulees such as Canoy Draw and Anderson Draw.
