1949 Map of Campbell Hill

About this map

The Cole Creek Oil Field dominates this high plains landscape on the border of Natrona and Converse counties, as it appeared in the late 1940s. The map illustrates a diverse resource economy where oil infrastructure, including a Pumping Sta and multiple Oil Tanks, sits alongside established livestock operations like the Hyland Sheep Ranch and the Double Bar Two Ranch. Evidence of earlier industry is found in the south, where the Big Muddy Coal Mine (Abandoned) marks a shift in the local energy landscape.
