1960 Map of Coyote Hill

About this map

The industrial infrastructure of the Kirby Creek Oil Field dominates this 1960s landscape, illustrating the mid-century energy development in Hot Springs and Washakie counties. A network of pipelines, oil wells, and pumping stations weaves through the dissected terrain, centered around Kirby Creek and the primary thoroughfare of Black Mountain Road. The map provides a detailed view of the regional hydrology, defined by ephemeral features such as Blue Springs Draw, Alkali Creek, and the prominent Major Basin. High points like Murphy Dome and Monument Hill rise above the drainage systems, while isolated water sources like Malcolm Spring and Brantley Spring offer specific landmarks for those tracing the historical geography of this Wyoming range.
