About this map

The high-desert energy landscape of Sublette County is clearly defined here, dominated by the massive industrial footprint of the North La Barge Gas and Oil Field and the La Barge Gas and Oil Field. The settlement of Calpet serves as a central hub for the region's petroleum operations, connected by a network of specialized routes like Beneficial Oil Rd and La Barge Creek Rd. The geography is anchored by the prominent north-south spine of The Hogsback and the elevated Big Mesa, which dictate the drainage of numerous creeks including Dry Piney Cr and S Fork Birch Cr.

Isolated outposts and temporary worker housing, such as Dry Piney Camp, Western Camp, and Rainbow Camp, reflect the nomadic nature of the local workforce. Beyond the industrial sites, the map documents essential water sources in an arid climate, specifically Gentle Annies Spring and the dual Hogsback Spring Number 1 and Hogsback Spring Number 2, which have historically sustained both livestock and human activity along the ridge.
