About this map

Walker Creek meanders across the high plains of East-Central Wyoming in this early 1980s topographical record. The landscape is defined by its industrial energy infrastructure, straddling the boundary of Converse Co and Niobrara Co. Scattered across the drainage basins of the creek and Twentymile Creek are numerous extraction sites, including a Well Oil Well and several Oil Well locations alongside a Pumping Sta.

A network of resource management is visible through a prominent Pipeline and multiple water storage Tank features. Researchers of Wyoming’s energy development will find interest in the prevalence of exploratory Drill Hole markers and the remote access routes indicated by a Jeep Trail, illustrating how the region's ranching terrain was adapted for petroleum and mineral exploration during this era.
