1967 Map of Broom Draw

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Hidden Dome Oil and Gas Field and the Cottonwood Creek Oil and Gas Field dominate this pocket of Washakie County, reflecting the industrial development of the Wyoming basin during the mid-1960s. The landscape is characterized by a high density of Drill Holes, Oil Wells, and specialized water management features such as the Pumpjack Reservoir and Hanger Reservoir. The reliance on these man-made catchments, including the Silted Reservoir and Badger Reservoir, highlights the arid nature of the terrain and the necessary infrastructure required to support energy extraction in the desert. Natural drainages like Broom Draw and Cottonwood Creek cut through the region, while evidence of earlier mineral exploration remains visible in the various Prospects scattered across the northern ridges.
