About this map

The Wildcat Gas Draw Oil Field dominates the drainage of Calf Creek in this northern Campbell County landscape. Recorded during the early 1970s, the map reveals a remote industrial and ranching geography defined by an extensive network of draws, including Coal Mine Draw, Cottonwood Draw, and Homestead Draw. The infrastructure of the energy industry is evident through numerous Well and Drill Hole markers, alongside a Pipeline cutting through the terrain.

Water management is central to the area's utility, with small reservoirs such as Williams Res, Tharp Res, and Grover Res serving the needs of local stock or operations. Local landmarks like The Rockpile and family-named features like Mumma Draw and Soukup Draw provide specific points of reference for genealogists and local historians tracing the land's transition during the peak of Wyoming's twentieth-century resource extraction era.
