About this map

The Little Powder River winds through this section of Campbell County, carving a landscape defined by an intricate network of ephemeral draws and permanent springs. In the early 1970s, the region supported a specialized mix of ranching operations and nascent resource extraction, as evidenced by the Springen Ranch and the presence of an Oil Field and multiple Gravel Pit sites. These industrial markers are balanced by community-focused sites like the Wildwood Christian Retreat, located near several named water sources such as Six Half Circle Spring.

Resource exploration is a dominant theme here, with numerous Drill Hole markings scattered across the terrain alongside specific excavations like the Elmore Mine and Moyer Mine. Local history is anchored by family-named landmarks and essential water points, including Moyer Springs, Nagle Spring, and Hafsted Spring. The presence of a lonely Grave near Windmill Draw hints at the area's earlier homesteading or trail history, while a prominent Pipeline corridor reflects the 20th-century energy infrastructure crossing the High Plains.
