About this map

The Rozet Oil Field dominates this 1970s landscape along the border of Campbell and Crook counties, defined by a dense network of extraction infrastructure. Numerous Oil Wells and scattered Drill Holes are mapped across the high plains, illustrating the intense industrial activity of the era. The terrain is deeply incised by a complex drainage system, primarily fed by the various branches of Miller Creek, including North Miller Creek, West Fork Miller Creek, and South Fork Miller Creek.

To the west, the topography is marked by Mitchell Creek and Little Mitchell Creek, which flow through a region of prominent draws like Coyote Draw and Wolf Draw. In the southwestern corner, the rising elevation of Little Pine Ridge provides a geographic anchor near Wheat Draw and Dry Creek. This survey captures the specific moment when energy development was reshaping the natural watersheds of the Powder River Basin.
