About this map

The energy-rich landscape of Wyoming’s High Plains is captured here in the early 1970s, where the boundary of Campbell and Crook Counties intersects a significant network of extraction. Multiple distinct operations define the local industry, including the Stewart Ranch Oil Field, Kummerfeld Oil Field, and the North Donkey Creek Oil Field. These sites are marked by numerous drill holes and wells scattered across the terrain of Little Pine Ridge and the drainages of Thompson Creek and Wheat Draw.

Central to the region's transport is the Burlington Northern railroad, which parallels Donkey Creek across the southern portion of the sheet. Evidence of early rural life appears at the Pleasant Valley Cemetery in the north, while the landscape is further crisscrossed by Miller Road and various unnamed trails. The map offers a precise look at the infrastructure of the Powder River Basin during a period of intensive energy development.
