1981 Map of Lance Creek
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
The Lance Creek Oil Field dominates this eastern Wyoming landscape, revealing a complex network of industrial infrastructure amidst the high plains drainage systems. Centered around the settlements of West Lance Creek and Lance Creek, the map details numerous Oil Wells and Drill Holes that signal the area's economic focus in the early 1980s. A web of pipelines and access roads connects these production sites across the terrain defined by Little Lighting Creek and Twentymile Gulch. Local aviation and communication needs are evident through the inclusion of Landing Strips and a Radio Tower, while the winding course of Rusty Creek and Cherry Creek provides a natural contrast to the grid-like development of the petroleum field. The map serves as a record of the industrial footprint in Niobrara County during a period of active energy extraction.
