1951 Map of Osage SE

About this map

Oil Wells and drilling infrastructure dominate this landscape in eastern Wyoming, reflecting the region's energy development during the mid-20th century. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of Skull Creek, Mush Creek, and Beaver Creek, which cut through the complex topography of the Six Mile Basin. Industrial markers such as the Oil Pump Sta Tank and various pipelines are scattered across the quadrangle, interspersed with agricultural holdings like the Boulden Ranch. A unique hydrological feature, the Hot Artesian Well (Potable), is noted in the northern section. This survey, based on 1951 fieldwork with 1979 photorevisions, provides a precise look at the specialized equipment and transportation networks, including Morrisey Road, required to maintain a remote oil field operation.
