1982 Map of Sheep Canyon Creek West

About this map

The Fiddler Creek Oil Field dominates this section of Weston County, showing a landscape defined by industrial development and intermittent drainage. Numerous Oil Wells are scattered across the plains, particularly concentrated around the fork of Fiddler Creek and Mush Creek. The terrain is etched by complex drainage systems including Sheep Canyon Creek, Buffalo Creek, and the headwaters of E Fk Hay Creek. Evidence of supporting infrastructure is visible near the center of the field at the Substa and along various pipelines. This 1980s-era survey documents the intersection of energy extraction and the natural topography of the Wyoming grasslands, where the North Fork Mush Creek and Deep Creek provide the primary geographic relief amidst a network of service roads and well pads.
