1971 Map of Whitetail Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Dillinger Ranch sits at the heart of this Wyoming landscape, where the energy industry and cattle ranching converged in the early 1970s. The map illustrates a complex network of resource extraction, with numerous sites marked as Drill Hole and Oil Well across the Bishop Ranch Oil Field and adjacent petroleum leases. This industrial activity is superimposed on a rugged drainage system defined by the Belle Fourche River and its various tributaries, including Whitetail Creek and Yellow Hammer Creek. The terrain is punctuated by distinctive landforms such as the Yellow Hammer Buttes and Cabin Canyon, while infrastructure like Bishop Road and various routes labeled Jeep Trail provide the only access through these breaks. Water management is evident at the Cabin Canyon Reservoir, a critical feature for both livestock and the surrounding Oil Field operations during this era.
