2015 Map of Arpan Butte

About this map

Arpan Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this high plains landscape straddling the border of Sheridan and Johnson Counties. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of drainage channels, including Arpan Draw, Keathley Draw, and Redman Draw, which feed into Thompson Creek. Human presence is marked by ranching infrastructure, specifically a series of small water catchments such as the Bill Yates Reservoir, Republican Reservoir, and Ben Reservoir. The presence of Auzqui Reservoir Number 2 and family-named features like Devoe Draw reflects the area's history of private land use and water management. Transportation is limited to a handful of routes, most notably Thompson Creek Road, which provides access through this sparsely populated ranching country.
