1978 Map of Oat Creek NW

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Antelope Creek defines the drainage of this Niobrara County landscape, winding south across a high-plains terrain marked by energy exploration and ranching infrastructure in the late 1970s. The land is largely open, though human presence is noted through several energy-related landmarks such as an Oil Well and a Drill Hole. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, Boner Landing Strips appears near the banks of Black Tail Creek, indicating a reliance on light aircraft for regional connectivity across this expansive range. Several other seasonal waterways, including Wheatgrass Draw and North Cottonwood Creek, fragment the topography, illustrating the complex watershed patterns that dictate life and land use in this part of Wyoming. This survey captures a moment when the rural character of the state was increasingly intersected by industrial probing and private aviation.
