1972 Map of Rocky Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Ute Oil Field dominates this early 1970s landscape along the border of Powder River and Campbell Counties. This part of the Powder River Basin shows a dense network of industrial infrastructure, characterized by numerous Drill Holes, Oil Wells, and pipelines that traverse the high plains. The rugged topography is defined by the striking Red Hills and the prominent landmark of Rocky Butte, which rises above the surrounding drainage systems of Olmstead Creek and its North Fork. Remote ranching or industrial aviation is evidenced by the presence of Landing Strips situated in the central portion of the quadrangle. Water sources are vital in this arid environment, with labels identifying various Wells, a Flowing Well, and several named seasonal drainages including Corral Creek, Rock Creek, and Coal Gulch, reflecting the region's geological and resource-based history.
