About this map

The Union Pacific railroad cuts a horizontal line across this High Plains landscape, following the gentle topography near Ascalon. This portion of Cheyenne County is defined by the drainage patterns of Willow Creek in the north and Ladder Creek in the south, both of which reveal a sparse but industrious rural layout. The southeastern corner of the map is dominated by the Ladder Creek Oil Field, where numerous Oil Wells and associated infrastructure point to the region's energy production in the late 20th century. Scattered Storage Bins and various water Wells highlight the agricultural foundations of the area, while a Gravel Pit and a Tank suggest localized extraction and storage needs. The terrain is relatively uniform, punctuated primarily by the essential networks of transportation and natural resources.
