1968 Map of McPherson Draw

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The energy economy of Natrona County takes center stage in this 1960s landscape, where a dense network of energy infrastructure cuts through the high plains. The drainage of McPherson Draw provides the primary geographic orientation for an area heavily defined by mid-century resource extraction. Industrial signatures are everywhere, from isolated sites like Oil Well and several Drill Holes to the extensive Pipelines that traverse the territory. Navigational landmarks such as a Radio Tower and Radio Facility stand near local waypoints like Twentymile and Hill. Remote water sources, including the specifically named Seventeenmile Well, illustrate the logistical challenges of operating in this arid environment during the height of Wyoming's oil and gas development era.
