About this map

East Rabbit Mountain and West Rabbit Mountain dominate this corner of the Wyoming high plains, serving as the central landmarks in a landscape defined by ranching and energy extraction. Surveyed in the mid-1970s and published in the early 1980s, the map reveals a high density of industrial infrastructure including an Oil Field, numerous Drill Holes, and a complex network of Pipelines crossing the terrain.

A sparse network of unpaved tracks like Twenty Eight Road provides the only access through this drainage-rich region. The area is dissected by a series of intermittent waterways, most notably Lance Creek in the northwest and the winding Bonsell Draw along the southern border. The presence of several unnamed Springs and named creeks such as Rusty Creek and Young Woman Creek illustrates the vital water sources necessary for sustaining cattle and wildlife in Niobrara County.
