2012 Map of Oil Mountain

About this map

Oil Mountain dominates this portion of the Natrona County landscape, serving as a prominent landform in an area defined by its energy history and historic transit corridors. The presence of the Iron Creek Oil Field in the southern section of the quadrangle highlights the region's industrial character, supported by a network of specialized routes like Oil Camp Rd. This 2012 survey captures the intersection of natural drainage and human infrastructure, where Poison Spider Cr and Meadow Cr wind through terrain marked by the Poison Spider Rd and the significant Oregon Trail Rd. Notable engineering features, such as Tunnel Number 5, reflect the complex logistical efforts required to navigate this territory, while Iron Cr flows near the petroleum operations that have long shaped the local economy.
