About this map

Sterling serves as the primary hub of this landscape in the mid-1950s, located in a region where the undulating terrain of Richards Brown and Richland meets an active energy economy. The map reveals a dense network of petroleum infrastructure scattered across the countryside, specifically within the designated Oil Field. Numerous sites marked as Oil well and Oil slush tank are concentrated along the winding course of Ninemile Creek and the southern reaches of Beaver Creek, illustrating the intersection of natural drainage and industrial extraction.
