1972 Map of Brislawn School

About this map

Brislawn Sch stands in the southeastern portion of this map, serving as a focal point for the rural community on the high plains of northeastern Wyoming. The landscape is defined by an intricate drainage system including Horse Creek, Prairie Creek, and Short Prong Prairie Creek, which carve through the open terrain along the border of Campbell and Crook counties. The topography is characterized by a series of draws and hollows such as Heald Draw, Anderson Draw, and Dry Hollow, reflecting the region's semi-arid character and reliance on water features like Edgerton Reservoir. Evidence of human activity is found in the Gravel Pit and the long Pipeline corridors that traverse the prairie. This 1970s survey illustrates a specialized ranching and energy landscape, where the vastness of the Duck Creek Breaks is punctuated by these vital water sources and remote educational outposts.
