1982 Map of The Nose East

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The high plains along the Weston County and Niobrara County border are defined by deep drainage patterns and energy extraction in this early 1980s survey. The eponymous landform The Nose rises above the Cheyenne River, which snakes through the western portion of the quadrangle. This is a landscape shaped by the petroleum industry, dominated in the north by the Shurley Oil Field. A dense network of industrial infrastructure, including numerous Oil Wells and Drill Holes, is superimposed over the natural hydrology of Lodgepole Creek and Wildcat Creek. The sparse road network, including the named Grieves Road, suggests a working landscape where terrain features like Graham Draw served as primary navigational landmarks for ranchers and oilmen alike.
