About this map

Oshoto serves as the central hub of this Wyoming landscape, situated where the Missouri Draw meets Little Larson Creek. The map reflects a region defined by livestock ranching and energy extraction, evidenced by the presence of a Uranium Mine and a local Pipeline cutting through the western sections. Water management is critical in this arid terrain, with the Oshoto Reservoir and several named draws like Sidner Draw and Brosa Draw providing the necessary drainage and storage for the area's operations.

Local landmarks such as Berger Hill and the prominent Pine Ridge to the east define the topography, while smaller features like a local Cemetery and a Pumping Station near North Prong offer specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians. The network of unimproved roads and trails connects various corrals and gravel pits, illustrating the rural infrastructure of Crook County during the mid-1980s.
