About this map

The Clareton Oil Field dominates this section of Weston County, illustrating the intensive energy extraction characteristic of Wyoming's eastern plains in the early 1980s. The landscape is marked by a high density of industrial activity, including numerous Oil Wells and Drill Holes that follow the subterranean deposits across the township lines of R 65 W and R 64 W.

Natural drainage patterns like Lassen Creek and Mush Creek wind through the terrain, interrupted by the systematic grid of survey lines and service roads. These watercourses, including South Beaver Creek and the North Fork, provide a stark contrast to the engineered environment of the oil field. The map serves as a primary source for locating specific well sites and tracing the development of local resources within Lone Tree Draw and Williamson Draw during this period of industrial expansion.
