About this map

Niobrara County's high plains are defined by an intricate network of intermittent watercourses and early energy exploration in this 1980s-era study. The drainage systems of Young Woman Creek and Cherry Creek carve through the terrain, joined by Little Boggy Creek and the headwaters of the North Fork Wyatte Creek. These geographic features provided essential landmarks for the region's ranching and resource extraction industries.

Evidence of Wyoming's industrial footprint is scattered across the landscape, notably with a Pumping Sta located near the eastern boundary. The map documents various extractive activities, including multiple Prospects, a dedicated Oil Well, and a Gas Well. These labels, alongside numerous scattered drill holes and wells, illustrate the expansion of the energy sector into the remote draws and basins, such as Bonsell Draw, during the late twentieth century.
