2012 Map of Calf Creek

About this map

Gas Draw Oil Field and the eponymous Calf Creek define this section of the Wyoming landscape, where energy extraction and drainage patterns dictate the local geography. The map reveals an intricate network of erosional features or "draws," often named for early settlers or landmarks such as Margarets Draw, Docking Pen Draw, and Homestead Draw. These features, along with the distinctively named The Rockpile, illustrate how generations of ranchers and miners have navigated and categorized this semi-arid environment.
