About this map

The Custer National Forest dominates this section of Powder River County, where the landscape is defined by the high-relief drainage networks of the Powder River and its western tributaries. This ranching and forest environment is characterized by an extensive system of man-made water management, including Rimrock Reservoir, Bull Reservoir, and Clay Reservoir. These catchments, alongside smaller features like Wolf Den Spring, indicate the historical importance of securing water sources in this semi-arid high plains region.

Remote transportation routes such as Moorehead Rd and Bloom Creek Rd provide the primary access through the broken terrain, crossing seasonal drainages like Dutch Gulch and Maverick Prong. The map also captures the lower reaches of Plum Cr and Basin Cr as they move toward the river valley. This survey serves as a contemporary record of land use within the national forest and the private holdings that border the river's winding course.
