2012 Map of Broom Draw

About this map

Hidden Dome Oil and Gas Field and the Cottonwood Creek Oil and Gas Field define the industrial character of this Washakie County landscape. This region of central Wyoming is marked by a extensive network of water management features and energy infrastructure, where drainage from Broom Draw and Big Cottonwood Cr is captured by numerous small impoundments. These include Hidden Dome Reservoir Number 1, Badger Reservoir, and the descriptively named Pumpjack Reservoir. The road network supports this resource extraction economy, with Hidden Dome Rd and Mobil Rd connecting scattered drilling sites to regional arteries like the Old Ten Sleep Hwy. The presence of the Silted Reservoir and Charco Reservoir further illustrates the persistent effort to manage water in this arid basin.
