1971 Map of Whitetail Creek NE

About this map

Oil and gas infrastructure defines this corner of northeastern Wyoming during the early 1970s, where the high plains are segmented by numerous production zones. The Duvall Ranch Oil Field and Donkey Creek Oil Field dominate the northern landscape, supported by a network of buried pipelines and a centrally located Gas Plant. This area is a tri-county junction, showing the intersection of Campbell, Crook, and Weston counties. The Belle Fourche River meanders through the eastern section, providing a sharp contrast to the arid drainage patterns of Antelope Draw and Timber Creek. Industrial development is evident in the scattered Drill Hole locations and the presence of a Landing Strip in the southern reaches near the Raven Creek Oil Field. The map records an era of intensive resource extraction before the modern expansion of nearby Interstate 90 infrastructure.
