About this map

South Cole Creek Unit (Oil Field) defines the industrial character of this high plains landscape at mid-century. Produced as part of the Department of the Interior program for the development of the Missouri River Basin, the map illustrates an era of energy extraction in Converse County, marked by numerous Windmills and scattered Oil Wells. Significant infrastructure includes the CAA Building and several specialized transit routes like the Badger Coal Mine Road and the Glenrock-Ross Road. Settlement patterns are sparse, represented by isolated landmarks such as Spence and Hyland Ranch. The drainage of Lone Tree Gulch cuts through the terrain, while the geodetic marker at VABM Brown provides a fixed point in the shifting economy of coal, oil, and ranching that sustained the region during this post-war period.
