About this map

The Lone Tree Creek Oil Field anchors the southern portion of this Weston County landscape, highlighting the energy development occurring in the region during the 1970s and early 1980s. A network of numerous Oil Wells and dispersed Drill Holes stretches across the drainage basins of Sage Creek and Lodgepole Creek, illustrating the industrial footprint on this high plains terrain. The mapping, based on 1974 aerial photography, shows a landscape defined more by resource extraction and hydrology than by permanent settlements.

Water sources like Raven Creek and Lone Tree Creek cut through the topography, with several Flowing Wells and a Gravel Pit noted in the northern sections. This survey provides a precise look at the rural infrastructure of the era, from the established oil fields to the remote drainage of Rough Draw, offering specific location data for researchers tracking the evolution of Wyoming’s mineral and petroleum industry.
