About this map

Iron Mountain anchors this high-plains landscape in Crook County, Wyoming, where industrial activity and water management define the local geography. The area's economic foundations are clearly visible through the presence of an Oil Field and multiple extraction sites, including the Iron Claypit, several generic Claypit markers, and a Bentonite Pit. These industrial features sit alongside signs of early habitation and resource development, such as a solitary Grave and a localized Trailer Park.

Water sources are critical in this terrain, with Inyan Kara Creek, Cottonwood Creek, and Nefsy Creek draining the region. Specialized markers like a Flowing Well, various Tank locations, and a network of Wooden Pole Trans Line infrastructure illustrate how this Wyoming landscape was managed for both energy production and ranching. The northwestern corner touches the edge of Keyhole State Park, providing a recreational contrast to the surrounding working lands.
