About this map

The Powder River carves through this northern Wyoming landscape, where the high plains are defined by an intricate network of drainages and seasonal creek beds. This 2012 survey documents the rural character of Campbell County, highlighting landforms such as Tincom Butte and numerous erosion-carved features like Robinson Draw and Campbell Draw. These landmarks often carry the names of early ranching families, serving as vital points of reference in an area dominated by cattle grazing and open range.

Water management is central to the local geography, visible in the placement of the Okeson Reservoir and the paths of the Wild Horse Cr and Cross H Cr. Local history is anchored by the Arvada Cem, a significant site for genealogists tracking the settlers who established themselves along the river. The road network, including the Arvada Gillette Rd and Lower Powder River Rd, follows the natural contours of the river valley and its tributaries.
