About this map

Midwest and its industrial surroundings define this Wyoming landscape, where the legacy of energy production is etched into the terrain. The community is central to the extensive Salt Creek Oil Field and the nearby Shannon Pool Oil Field, revealing an environment heavily shaped by decades of resource extraction. Local infrastructure supports this industry, with roads like Gas Plant Rd and Light Plant Rd serving the facilities, while residential life is anchored by named streets such as Navy Row and Stock St.

Water management is critical in this arid region, as seen in the numerous impoundments including Lower Salt Creek Reservoir, Midwest Number 23 Reservoir, and Midwest Number 12 Reservoir. Natural drainage is marked by features like Coal Draw and Bothwell Draw, which feed into Salt Cr. For genealogists, the Midwest Cem sits west of the town, providing a point of reference for family histories in this historic oil-producing district.
