About this map

The Dead Horse Creek Oil Field centers this landscape in Campbell County, illustrating the industrial footprint of energy extraction in the Powder River Basin. The terrain is defined by a complex network of drainage systems, including Dead Horse Cr and its northern prong, which carve out numerous named draws such as Morgan Draw, Punkie Draw, and John Draw.

Water management is a primary feature of this arid rangeland, evidenced by a high density of small impoundments like Kirby Reservoir, Punkie Reservoir, and West Pearson Reservoir. These man-made features, alongside roads like Barber Creek Rd and Buffalo Cut Across Rd, show how the land has been partitioned and utilized for both ranching and resource development. The presence of Bridge Draw and South Draw further emphasizes the topographic variation that dictates travel and infrastructure across this Wyoming quadrangle.
