About this map

The Little Powder River winds through this section of Campbell County, Wyoming, characterizing a landscape defined by its drainage basins and early energy development. This 1970s survey documents a transition in land use, where traditional ranching geography meets industrial expansion. Evidence of the region’s mineral wealth is clearly marked by the Strip Mine and Coal Mine located in the southwestern reaches, near Bull Creek and June Draw.

Linear infrastructure like the Boxelder Pipeline cuts across the terrain, reflecting the logistical demands of the era. The map is heavily punctuated with numerous Spring and Springs labels, highlighting the critical importance of water sources in this arid environment. Natural landmarks such as Wildcat Creek and Logan Creek provide geographic anchors for researchers studying the historical hydrology and early industrial footprint of the Weston area.
