1978 Map of Mule Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Mule Creek and its various branches dominate this high plains landscape in eastern Wyoming during the late 1970s. The terrain is characterized by a network of seasonal watercourses, including Bridge Creek and Jacoby Draw, which carve through the elevations near The Flat Top. Human activity in this rural corner of Niobrara County is primarily defined by resource extraction and sparse ranching infrastructure. Numerous Drill Holes and Oil Wells are scattered across the quadrangle, particularly in the northern and eastern sections, signaling the importance of the energy industry to the local economy. The settlement of Pfister serves as a small anchor point in the southwest, while landmarks like Longley Well and a isolated Water Tank provide critical reference points for navigation across the open country. This survey illustrates the specific land use patterns of the era, where industrial infrastructure like Gravel Pits integrated into a traditional ranching environment.
