2012 Map of Corral Creek

About this map

Sandbar West Oil Field stands as a central industrial feature in this part of Campbell County, where energy extraction meets an intricate network of drainage basins. The landscape is defined by the headwaters and prongs of several desert waterways, including the winding Buffalo Cr and the extensive Armstrong Prong Bitter Cr. These seasonal streams dictate the orientation of local ranch roads like Weischedel Rd and Beason Rd, which navigate the elevation changes between Corral Cr and Olmstead Cr. The presence of Bitter Creek Rd alongside its namesake Bitter Cr illustrates the historical reliance on these drainages for establishing travel corridors through the Wyoming basin. This map documents a modern era of resource development while preserving the original hydrographic nomenclature of the high plains.
