About this map

South Coyote Oil Field occupies the northwest corner of this Weston County landscape, signaling the region's long-standing connection to resource extraction. This high-plains terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems including Alkali Draw and Coal Draw, which feed into the northern reaches of Buffalo Cr. Further south, the meandering path of Raven Cr cuts through the territory, shadowed by N Raven Creek Rd.

Settlement is sparse and centered around ranching and energy, notably at Ritthalen Ranch near the eastern boundary. The presence of Chalk Butte provides a distinct topographic landmark amidst a grid of rural routes such as 4 Horse Rd and Four Horse Rd. This survey reflects the modern infrastructure of the Wyoming basin, where traditional cattle operations and oil interests share an expansive, arid landscape.
