About this map

Industrial development and physical geography meet at the Montana-Wyoming border in this mid-1960s study. The landscape is dominated by the Silver Tip Oil Field and the northern portion of the Elk Basin Oil Field, where numerous roads and a Drill Hole highlight the extraction activity of the era. These oil fields are situated amidst a rugged drainage system characterized by the Big Sand Coulee and Silver Tip Creek, showcasing the complex topography that workers navigated during the mid-century petroleum boom.
