2012 Map of Deer Hill

About this map

Ruben Oil Field dominates the high-country landscape of Sublette County in this 2012 survey, illustrating the modern industrial footprint of energy extraction in western Wyoming. The area is defined by a network of drainage systems and isolated landforms, with Middle Piney Cr and S Piney Cr carving through the terrain near Rands Butte. Water management for this arid region is evidenced by the McNinch Number 1 Reservoir and McNinch Number 2 Reservoir in the northeastern quadrant. Roads such as Star Corral Rd and Middle Piney Rd provide access to the various elevations, including Deer Hill and Sand Hill, showing how late 20th and early 21st-century infrastructure follows the natural contours of the High Plains and river basins.
