1971 Map of The Gap SW

About this map

Green Oil Field dominates the landscape of this northeastern Wyoming prairie, reflecting the early 1970s energy extraction era. The terrain is defined by a dense network of intermittent drainages like Bone Pile Creek and Duck Nest Creek that feed into the winding Caballo Creek. Human activity is concentrated around industrial and social hubs such as Maysdorf and the G-M Clubhouse, while the inclusion of the Marquis Landing Strips suggests the logistical demands of a remote resource economy. Multiple Oil Well sites and a prominent Pipeline trace the development of the Powder River Basin’s natural resources, set against a backdrop of traditional rangeland accessed by local routes like Bishop Road and T 7 Road.
