1971 Map of Gillette East

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The industrial and civic expansion of Gillette is clearly defined in this early 1970s survey, showing the town's growth alongside the energy infrastructure of Campbell County. The Burlington Northern railroad serves as the primary artery, connecting the urban core to the massive Wyodak Strip Mine and the adjacent Wyodak settlement to the east. This landscape is a hybrid of traditional ranching terrain and intensive resource extraction, characterized by the Springer Ranch Field and numerous drill holes scattered across the drainage basins of the Little Powder River and Donkey Creek. Local life is anchored by institutions like the Mt Pisgah Cem, the County High Sch, and the Gillette Country Club, while the presence of the Drive-in Theater and Burlington Lake reflects the mid-century recreational footprint of this Wyoming coal-country hub.
