1951 Map of Oil Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Oil Mountain anchors this high-desert landscape in Natrona County, where early-century petroleum development and water engineering define the terrain. The presence of an Artesian Well and numerous oil-related features, including the Iron Creek Oil Field and an Inactive Oil Well, illustrates the region's industrial footprint during the post-war era. Water management is central to the area's utility, visible through the Casper Canal, Johnson Ditch, and Johnson Reservoir, which divert flow through the arid basins surrounding Poison Spider Creek. The map also captures the path of the Oregon Trail Road as it follows historical migration corridors through the central Wyoming hills. This intersection of historic trail routes and modern resource extraction provides a clear look at how human activity adapted to the harsh geography between Meadow Creek and Clevidence Draw.
