1971 Map of Appel Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Appel Butte and the surrounding high plains of Campbell County are defined here by a network of drainage draws and small-scale livestock water management. This early 1970s landscape shows the transition of the Wyoming prairie into an increasingly managed ranching environment, anchored by features like Schoolhouse Butte and Sassick Butte. The area is interlaced with intermittent waterways such as Bone Pile Creek, Donkey Creek, and Bluegate Creek. These waters feed numerous named stock ponds and small catchments, including the Margaret Sarah Reservoir, Mary Alice Reservoir, and Channey Res. Industrial presence is noted through the north-south pipeline and various drill holes, reflecting the region's energy development history. Infrastructure is sparse, primarily consisting of thoroughfares like Schoonover Road and Bell Road that navigate the draws and ridges.
