2020 Map of Bear Creek School

About this map

Bear Creek School and the Dufford Cem represent the community core of this remote drainage system in Powder River County. The landscape is defined by a series of prominent rises including Chico Buttes, Nipple Butte, and Red Butte, which overlook the complex network of draws and creeks that feed into the larger regional basins. Local nomenclature is deeply tied to the ranching geography, visible in features like Mac Alister Draw, Jojo Draw, and the numerous named springs such as 08S45E24CADD01 Spring. A web of unpaved transit routes, including Quietus Rd and Otter Creek Rd, connects these isolated homesteads and landmarks across the rugged terrain, tracing the natural contours of Vance Cr and Bales Cr.
