About this map

The Rawhide School stands as a lonely landmark in this 1971 survey of Campbell County, Wyoming, anchoring a landscape shaped by natural drainage and energy extraction. The western portion of the map is dominated by the Kitty Oil And Gas Field, where numerous Oil Wells and a network of pipelines illustrate the industrial character of the plains during the early 1970s.

Ephemeral watercourses such as Rawhide Creek, Little Rawhide Creek, and Hay Creek carve through the terrain, punctuated by significant geological features like Rawhide Butte and Franey Rock. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of the school and family-named landmarks like Soukup Draw and Grant Spring provides a clear view of the area's rural development before modern expansion altered these traditional ranching and oil territories.
