2012 Map of Mule Creek SE

About this map

Mule Creek Oil Field anchors the western edge of this Niobrara County landscape, marking the intersection of resource extraction and the high plains of Wyoming. The terrain is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of the Moss Agate Cr system, including its north and south forks which wind across the quadrangle toward the South Dakota border. This 2012 survey illustrates the modern transportation corridor where Old US Hwy 85 cuts through the region. The map provides a precise look at the sparse industrial and rural road network that supports the oil industry in this portion of the Powder River Basin, showing how local infrastructure follows the natural contours of the various creek branches.
