1971 Map of Gillette West

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Gillette expands across the high plains of Campbell County during the early 1970s, anchoring a landscape increasingly defined by energy extraction and regional infrastructure. The Oriva Gas Field and a prominent Pipeline illustrate the area's industrial footprint, while the Burlington Northern railroad cuts a vital path toward the town center. Local community life is concentrated in the southeastern corner, where the County Fairground, Jr High Sch, and Hosp serve the growing population. To the north, the County Airport and a Golf Course sit near the winding course of Little Rawhide Creek. The drainage of Stonepile Creek and the southern Donkey Creek provide the primary hydrologic features in an otherwise arid terrain dotted with oil wells and drill holes, marking the intersection of the natural Wyoming prairie and modern industrial development.
