1971 Map of Rozet NW

About this map

Wagonhammer Butte anchors the northeast corner of this Campbell County landscape, rising above a network of drainages and early energy infrastructure. In the early 1970s, this area was defined by its water sources and the expanding footprint of the petroleum industry, evidenced by the numerous Oil Wells and exploratory Drill Holes scattered across the township lines. The topography is a complex system of draws and creeks, including Cottonwood Creek and its West Fork, which feed into local catchments like the Cliff White Reservoir and School Reservoir. To the south, the terrain transitions toward Little Pine Ridge and the Lone Cedar Spring. This survey captures a specific era of Western land use where traditional cattle ranching resources like Jiggs Res coexisted with the systematic extraction of natural resources.
