About this map

Linch serves as the central hub of this northern Wyoming landscape, where the energy industry and traditional ranching intersect. The map documents an extensive network of petroleum infrastructure, most notably the Sussex Oil Field, North Meadow Creek Oil Field, and Meadow Creek Oil Field. These industrial zones are connected by a web of local roads such as Meadow Creek Rd and Sussex Field Rd, which navigate a terrain defined by a complex system of drainage features.

Named draws like Frenchman Draw, Reeves Draw, and School Section Draw provide a detailed look at the local topography surrounding the Sussex Unit. Scattered across the drainage basins of Meadow Creek and its tributaries are historic outposts including North Meadow Creek Camp, Irvine Cow Camp, and family holdings like Tillman Ranch. These labels reveal a place where livestock operations and oil extraction have coexisted for generations.
