About this map

The Powder River meanders through this portion of the Powder River Basin, defining the drainage patterns for a series of named draws and gulches. The landscape is characterized by its hydrological infrastructure and ranching-related transit, with Warren Dam and Greenough Dam situated along the seasonal waterways. Named terrain features like Black Draw, Watson Basin, and Bear Gulch indicate a highly dissected topography where water management is central to the land's utility.

Transportation in this border region between Wyoming and Montana is facilitated by a network of gravel and unimproved roads, including Moorhead Rd, Fence Creek Rd, and SA Rd. These routes follow the natural contours of the valley, connecting remote landmarks such as Water Gap Draw and Yerger Draw. The map illustrates the sparsely populated character of Campbell County in the early 21st century, where the primary human footprint consists of these persistent roads and small-scale water impoundments.
