1971 Map of Reno Reservoir

About this map

The Hilight Oil and Gas Field dominates this early 1970s landscape in Campbell County, showing a complex industrial infrastructure of wells, pipelines, and pumping stations. A network of energy production facilities, including the Gopher Pumping Sta and various unnamed oil wells, is mapped alongside the natural drainage systems of the region. The map highlights the intersection of this heavy industry with the local topography, where ephemeral waterways like North Prong Little Thunder Creek and Little Thunder Creek wind through the high plains terrain. Significant local landmarks such as the Reno Reservoir provide water management in an area also marked by Burning Coal Draw and Trussler Draw. Transportation is primarily facilitated by the Reno County Road and Piney Canyon Road, which serve the remote industrial sites scattered throughout the quadrangle.
