1982 Map of Wildlife Draw East

About this map

Lone Tree Creek and Lodgepole Creek carve through the high plains of Weston County in this early 1980s topographical study. The landscape is defined by its industrial utility, marked by numerous Oil Wells and supporting Tanks that pepper the terrain. These energy extraction points are scattered across the drainage basins of Rough Draw and Wildlife Draw, indicating the area's role in Wyoming's mineral economy. The map also captures the hydrological network of the region, including Hay Creek and its West Fork Hay Creek, showing how these intermittent watercourses shaped the surrounding land use and ranching boundaries during the late twentieth century.
