About this map

The Colums Oil Field and Gas Draw Field define the industrial character of this Wyoming landscape during the early 1970s. This survey, conducted before modern large-scale infrastructure changes, reveals a terrain shaped by energy extraction, marked by numerous Drill Holes and a strategic Pumping Sta. The drainage network is complex, featuring prominent watercourses such as Pitch Draw, Spring Creek, and Horse Creek, which wind through the township boundaries of T. 54 N. and T. 55 N.

A remote Landing Strip and the Norfolk Reservoir provide evidence of managed land use in this part of Campbell County. The presence of smaller landmarks like Heydecker Draw, Square Draw, and Batz Draw offers valuable geographic data for those tracing land ownership or mineral exploration history. The map serves as a record of the region’s topography at a time when the oil and gas industries were actively expanding their footprint across the northern plains.
