1951 Map of Maverick Spring

About this map

The Wind River Indian Reservation in central Wyoming serves as the backdrop for this mid-century survey of industrial extraction and rugged topography. The landscape is dominated by complex geological structures, most notably the Maverick Spring Dome Oil Field and the Sheldon Dome Oil Field, where a network of oil wells and tanks marks the footprint of the energy industry. These fields are situated within the broader Maverick Spring Dome, a striking terrain feature where drainage patterns like Maverick Spring Draw and Coal Draw cut through the earth.
