About this map

Industrial energy production and rugged ranchlands define this 1971 survey of the Wyoming borderlands between Campbell Co and Crook Co. The landscape is heavily marked by the region's mid-century petroleum boom, featuring the expansive Kummerfeld Oil Field, the Stewart Ranch Oil Field, and several installations across the North Donkey Creek Oil Field. These fields are interspersed with numerous drill holes and oil wells, indicating a period of intense subsurface exploration.

Transportation and topography are anchored by the east-west corridor of the Burlington Northern railroad, which parallels Donkey Creek. Cultural markers like the Pleasant Valley Cem and Little Pine Ridge provide genealogical and geographical context for the sparsely populated terrain. Hydrological features such as Wheat Draw, Thompson Draw, and the Cherry Reservoir reveal the drainage patterns essential for livestock management in this high-plains environment.
