About this map

The Kirby Creek Oil Field and the nearby Murphy Dome dominate this 1960 landscape along the border of Hot Springs and Washakie counties. The area is defined by its industrial infrastructure, with numerous Oil Wells, Oil Tanks, and a Pumping Sta linked by a network of Pipelines. This energy-driven topography suggests a mid-century period of intense extraction in the Wyoming basin.

Outside the oil fields, the terrain is characterized by prominent landmarks such as Monument Hill, Coyote Hill, and Wild Horse Butte. The drainage system of Blue Springs Draw and Major Basin Draw feeds into the Kirby Creek valley, where the Black Mountain Road provides the primary transit route. Scattered water sources like Malcolm Spring and Bradley Spring offer rare points of interest in the arid expanse of the Major Basin.
