2012 Map of Weintz Draw

About this map

The Bonanza Oil Field anchors the western edge of this Big Horn County landscape, where the meandering Nowood River cuts through the terrain. This 2012 survey illustrates a complex network of water management essential to the high desert, featuring the Ninetysix Canal and the Anita Ditch. These irrigation features, along with several cattle or irrigation ponds like Brewster Reservoir and H G Reservoir, trace the legacy of ranching and resource extraction in the region. The map also delineates the eponymous Weintz Draw and the course of Paint Rock Cr as they feed into the larger river system. Rural transportation is marked by local connectors such as Tensleep Manderson Rd and Bentonite Ridge Rd, which provide access to the remote ridges and oil works that define the area's modern economic character.
