1982 Map of Timber Creek

About this map

Timber Creek flows through the center of this Wyoming-Weston Co. terrain, marking a landscape defined by seasonal drainages and early energy exploration. The map records the network of watercourses including South Beaver Creek and Rough Creek, which carve through the high plains toward the western edge of the Black Hills. Evidence of industrial activity is scattered throughout the township lines, notably with several Drill Hole and Well locations alongside a major Pipeline traversing the northeastern corner. In the southwest, the prominent elevation of Alkali Butte stands as a primary landmark, overlooking the descent into Finn Draw. These details reveal the 1970s-era land use patterns in this remote ranching and resource territory, illustrating the infrastructure required for mineral surveying and water management in the arid West.
