1985 Map of Little Buffalo Basin

About this map

The Little Buffalo Basin is defined by a significant energy extraction landscape, where an extensive Oil Field and an associated Landing Strip illustrate the industrial development of Park and Hot Springs counties. This 1985 edition, based on field checks from 1979, captures the infrastructure of the Little Buffalo Basin Camp amid the drainage systems of Gooseberry Creek and Little Buffalo Creek. The terrain is marked by distinctive local landmarks such as the Hole in the Ground in the northeast and Middle Cr to the south. The map provides a clear look at the intersection of resource industry and the natural watershed, recording the placement of wells and access roads during a peak era of regional production.
