2020 Map of Badger Creek

About this map

Poplar River meanders southward through this corner of Roosevelt County, carving a wide valley floor flanked by broken coulees and prairie uplands. The landscape is defined by its drainage network, including the confluence of Badger Cr and Little Badger Cr, where the small Little Badger Spring and the Crandall Reservoir mark essential water sources in the semi-arid northern plains. Human activity is largely structured by the Public Land Survey System grid and Bureau of Indian Affairs transit routes, such as Bia Rte 150 and Bia Rte 75. Near the southern edge, the Poplar Municipal Airport sits on a level bench above the river, serving as a modern landmark in an area otherwise characterized by remote ranch roads and named seasonal waterways like Flea Cr and Boxelder Cr.
