1972 Map of Carr Draw

About this map

Kinney Divide dominates the central topography of this Wyoming landscape, acting as a high point for a complex drainage system during the early 1970s. The map illustrates a region defined by its watercourses, where names like Carr Draw, Antelope Draw, and McLaughlin Draw suggest a terrain carved by intermittent flow. Grounded in the development of the Missouri River Basin, the survey captures the area just as energy exploration began to mark the surface. Numerous industrial markers including Oil Well locations, Well sites, and Drill Hole labels appear across the south and west, particularly near Barber Creek. This intersection of traditional ranchland travel, represented by the Montgomery Road and various Jeep Trails, with burgeoning subsurface extraction reflects a period of significant transition in Campbell County.
