About this map

The Dallas Oil Field and Derby Dome Oil Field define the industrial footprint of this Fremont County landscape, where energy extraction meets traditional high-plains ranching. The terrain is marked by significant topographical shifts, moving from the depths of Devils Canyon up to the Cottonwood Divide. Water remains the critical resource for the area's remote homesteads, with named sources like Commissary Spring, Pipe Springs, and Barrel Spring supporting livestock and human habitation.

Remote outposts such as Kotey Place and Weiser Ranch are connected by a network of drainage systems including Twin Cr and Weiser Cr. Notable landmarks like Cedar Ridge and Hofttowe Meadows provide orientation across the expanse, while features like Macfie Pens and Brush Corral speak to the enduring cattle-working history of the region. The map captures a moment where the modern energy sector overlaps with long-established ranching practices near Weiser Pass.
