2012 Map of Seven L Creek West

About this map

The high plains of Natrona County are defined by a complex network of ephemeral waterways and industrial development in this early 21st-century study. The landscape is characterized by the Little Teapot Cr and its tributaries, including E Teapot Cr, which feed into local catchments like the Houston Reservoir and the School Section Reservoir. These water sources are vital in an area otherwise dominated by the energy industry, as evidenced by several significant drilling operations across the quadrangle. Extensive petroleum infrastructure is mapped in detail, specifically the North Sage Spring Creek Oil Field, Burke Ranch Oil Field, and multiple zones of the Sage Spring Creek Oil Field. The presence of the Allemand Ranch and thoroughfares like Naval Rd illustrate the ongoing relationship between traditional ranching and the modern mineral extraction economy in this part of Wyoming.
