1971 Map of Piney Canyon SW

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Oil wells and drill holes pockmark this Wyoming landscape, indicating the intense energy exploration active in Campbell County during the early 1970s. The terrain is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and drainages, including Holmes Creek, School Creek, and Hansen Draw. A massive Strip Mine in the southwest corner and a prominent Pipeline cutting across the northern sections highlight the industrial footprint on this ranching country. Transportation is anchored by the Piney Canyon Road, which provides access to the interior of Piney Canyon. Named water sources like Hansen Spring and the West Fork suggest the vital importance of water rights in this semi-arid environment, where surveyors noted numerous fence lines and small stock ponds alongside the industrial development of the era.
