About this map

The Hilight Oil and Gas Field dominates the industrial character of this Campbell County landscape, where the energy economy of the early 21st century is etched across the terrain in a network of access roads and drill pads. Located south of the Belle Fourche River, the topography is defined by the prominent elevations of Mount Logan and Neil Butte.

A complex drainage system of the Powder River Basin is visible through the numerous branches of Coal Creek, including the W Fork Coal Cr, E Fork Coal Cr, and Middle Fork Coal Cr. Evidence of modern settlement appears at Phillips 66 MHP, connected by a grid of rural routes such as Hilight Rd, Hoadley Rd, and Lawver Rd. The map illustrates the specialized infrastructure required for natural resource extraction in this part of Wyoming.
